Name: Elzer Roas, Puch near Weiz
Brand: Steiermark
Rating: 5 (1 reviews)

The most versatile hiking trail in Puch bei Weiz Enjoy and relax- also Peter Rosegger wrote in his time, when he visited the apple village "When I went to paradise".

Especially at blossom time, when thousands of apple trees float in their pink cloud of fragrance, or at harvest time when the fresh, crisp fruit invites you to taste it, it is a special experience for body, mind and soul.

In Elz, the gateway to ApfelLand awaits us - the largest apple in the world.The giant apple, which can be seen from afar, is both the start and finish of the trail. The path leads through a slightly hilly landscape.
