Apple blossom tour (Apfelblütentour)
Beautiful bike tour around Markt Hartmannsdorf.
The apple blossom tour starts in Markt Hartmannsdorf and leads over the East Styrian hills. This route is suitable for both sports enthusiasts and connoisseurs. Every year in spring during the apple blossom season, the big family bike tour takes place. With great vantage points with views of the Thermen- & Vulkanland and cosy places to stop for refreshments, this circular tour is highly recommended.

The tour begins in Markt Hartmannsdorf (329 m). We start in an easterly direction to the intersection at Oed (316 m). At this intersection turn left uphill towards Obereichberg. It rises to around 415 m above sea level before going downhill again (to around 384 m). On the journey to Pöllau it is quite hilly and you pass the small towns of Minireith (400 m) and Buchreith (approx. 425 m). After Pöllau (360 m) you roll comfortably downhill and rest yourself for the next longer climb of the day. After about 125 meters or 2 kilometers you reach the hill at Hochsetz (484 m). From here it's almost all downhill. You drive through some small towns such as Reith and Kogl. It climbs again briefly to Ungerberg (392 m) and to Geldhof (approx. 355 m). Once at the top, you roll comfortably back to the starting point.
