    quickly get the impression that this region was created specifically for

    regions with one another. The route takes you over countless hilltops, through a mix of tight
    and wide curves, and time and again to impressive
    viewpoints. The unique combination of scenery, tranquility, and
    driving dynamics makes this tour a true hidden gem for enthusiasts on two

    curves, quiet side roads, and impressive natural experiences. Around every
    bend, new panoramas, charming villages, and magnificent viewpoints await,
    inviting you to take a short break.

    The well-maintained roads offer riding pleasure for leisure riders
    as well as for sportily ambitious motorcyclists. Along the routes,
    traditional inns and cozy wine taverns invite you to enjoy regional
    specialties and recharge your energy for the next few kilometers of curves.

    wanting to combine varied routes with Styrian hospitality
    will find ideal conditions in Eastern Styria. The combination of
    riding pleasure, impressive scenery, and culinary delights makes the
    tour through Joglland–Waldheimat, the Pöllauer Tal Nature Park, and Apfelland
    Stubenbergsee a truly special experience.

    Author’s recommendation

    This route is especially enjoyable from spring through fall. Because there are so many scenic overlooks and places to stop for refreshments, we recommend setting aside plenty of time for breaks.

    If you’d like to spread the tour out over two days at a leisurely pace, you’ll find plenty of motorcycle-friendly accommodations along the route—from cozy bed-and-breakfasts and inns to hotels and campgrounds.
