Feldkirchen, located in the middle of Carinthia, has developed into a wine-growing town over the past two decades. Although the cultivation areas are relatively small, the wines produced are already on par with the good Austrian quality wines. What could be more obvious than dedicating a running competition to these vineyards, especially when you know that the landscape between mountains and lakes is unique and will fascinate hikers and runners. Besides the 26.8-kilometer Vineyard Trail Strong route, the shorter tour of 8.3 kilometers shows the scenic highlights of the entire tour.
Author’s recommendation
Those who do the Vineyard Trail easy tour on any days of the year will find with the Trippel Gut Restaurant and the Gasthof Wadl at the beginning and end two excellent refreshment stations. The return trip is best solved by transferring a car or taking a taxi. Those who want to walk the route on foot have double the enjoyment!

Roadbook
From Trippelgut with the large vineyard, it goes to Maltschacher Lake and further to Buschenschank Kölbl. Above that, only on the event day of the Vineyard Trail Run & Walk, a field and a meadow can also be crossed next to the Neumaier vineyard, so the participants reach a road to Obersittich. First follow an asphalt road, then follow a hiking trail until the next village, Persching, is reached. Follow an asphalt road for about one kilometer until the road forks to the left before a forest, and after 100 meters again to the right, and after a wooden fence and shed, follow down right to the forest edge to an asphalt road. Cross the road southwards and continue into the village of Aich. Here, go under the federal highway through a short tunnel. Immediately afterwards, the hiking trail suddenly ends at a stream (Glan). Therefore, just to the far right next to the federal highway on the embankment for about 400 meters, until you see a narrow gravel path on the left. Switch to this path and follow it to Markstein, where shortly after the path enters the forest, a little to the right half way, a trail leads directly into the forest. At forks, keep left until you come directly to houses. Now continue running to the right through the settlement until you reach the state road, which you cross, and then over Bösenlacken to a hiking trail that leads right up to Pollenitzen to the finish at Gasthof Wadl.
