Schönaudorf - whether as the starting point or the end of the tour - is so well situated that you simply have to plan in a visit to a cozy tavern!
The establishments of the Kainer, Muhr and Safner families are located directly on the route. The Kogler, Krobath and Spindler wine taverns can be reached in just a few minutes by bike. Immediately after the turn-off from the R57 (coming from Pöllau or Hartberg), the route climbs quite steeply through Schönaudorf. However, the view of the Schönauer Berg vineyards and the entire Pöllau Valley Nature Park is well worth the effort. Here you also have the opportunity to take a break at Gasthaus Schrank.
The trail continues uphill for a little while before reaching the ridge at the Hofer quarry and the view of ApfelLand with the Stubenbergsee lake.
A leisure paradise - with its 40 hectares of water, Lake Stubenberg is one of the largest and warmest bathing lakes in the country.
Along the ridge, the route then takes you leisurely towards the Stelzer-Lex bed and breakfast. From there, the municipal road leads steeply up to Stubenberg. Before you reach Stubenberg's main square, however, you can stop off at the Hofer Toni wine tavern to round off your cycle tour in comfort.
