FB1 Riesentour Thermen- & Vulkanland Steiermark

Open
From north to south and back again. The giant tour FB1 is one of a total of 14 forest and meadow tours in the region of Feldbach in the thermal and volcanic country of Styria.  
The giant tour lives up to its name. In fact, it is the north-south crossing of the Styrian Volcanic Land. This route stretches from the striking Riegersburg Castle, perched on the volcano, almost to the Murauen meadows. The return journey via Tieschen, Hochstraden, Kapfenstein and Weinberg is extremely scenic along the ridges of the hills and a stretch along the East Styrian Wine Route.  You will reach the highest point of this circular tour in Straden in southeastern Styria.
