Styrian Apple Road " A journey to paradise"

Open
... Austria's orchard “ A journey to paradise” The Styrian Apple Road takes you right through the heart of ApfelLand with over half a million fruit trees. The main annual events such as the
Apple Blossom Festival
“Apple Road Autumn” from September to October
Apfelmontgolfiade - (international balloonists' meeting) - at the end of October
are a popular meeting place for young and old.
The Apple Road meanders around 25 km from Prebuch near Gleisdorf to the apple village of Puch and Oberfeistritz near Anger. Along the way, you will meet 30 fruit growers who offer all the delicacies made from fruit as direct marketers. Overview map -farms.
These include a wide variety of juices, all kinds of cider, as well as jams, nectars, fruit liqueurs and, above all, a wide range of brandies. Above all, the “Abakus”, which 23 “apple men” distil in a strict ritual from the best apple variety of the year in the strictest secrecy.

A dozen restaurants know how to refine the “apple raw materials” into delicious dishes. Classic dishes such as apple strudel are on offer as well as sophisticated desserts. Entire menus - from cider soup and roast cider to apple dumplings and apple ice cream - enchant connoisseurs and gourmets alike.
From the blossom spring to the bathing experience and the famous sights to the harvest time, the region has plenty to offer.

On the last Sunday in April, the traditional “Apple Blossom Festival” takes place in the apple village of Puch.
An incredible splendor of blossoms bathes the region in a white and pink dress. 
The first apples are harvested in August and the last are not picked until the end of October.Apfelstraßen-Herbst offers two months of events on the Apple Road every year to celebrate the paradisiacal fruit apple in all its diversity. 
The absolute highlight of every ApfelLand trip has been the balloon ride for over 30 years. The region can probably be described as the Mecca of Austrian ballooning.
This unique experience is offered in the towns of Stubenberg am See, Hofkirchen, Puch and Floing.
