Steinreib: Winegrowing, Hochgrail and Trails

Steinreib combines a long history of winegrowing with the landscape around Hochgrail and several named trails. This gives you a range of options to focus on when planning your trip: winegrowing on the ridge, views across the rolling hills, a cycling tour or a hike. The information about the trails varies according to direction, mode of transport and route type. You can start by deciding which topic matters most for your stay.

Winegrowing and types of accommodation

The Klug-Voltl family has been producing wine on the ridge in Steinreib since 1758. This family history gives winegrowing a specific connection to the area and makes it a distinct focus when planning your trip. At Hochgrail, the Klug-Voltl winery operates a traditional wine tavern, guest rooms and holiday home rentals. If you are specifically looking for a hotel, accommodation type remains a separate consideration alongside your interest in winegrowing or the traditional wine tavern. Check the current availability of the accommodation options listed before making a booking decision.

Hochgrail: Landscape and views

At Hochgrail, lush green meadows, gnarled fruit trees, chestnut forests and abundant vineyards come together. This idyllic ridge offers a landscape where open spaces, trees, forest and winegrowing sit side by side. If you value a clearly named landscape when choosing where to stay, this is a specific point of interest.

The Klapotetz Hochgrail is considered a viewpoint on the Hochgrail vineyard site and is located next to the Hiden winery and traditional wine tavern. It is directly on the “Genuss-Schilchern” hiking trail, making it a specific landmark for hikers.

Cycling and hiking

The Schilcher Tour North No. 702 runs from Teufenbach uphill via Steinreib towards Greisdorf. Hochgrail lies on the cycling section through Steinreib, where you can enjoy a beautiful view stretching across the rolling hills of St. Stefan ob Stainz. The route thus combines a clearly named course with the landscape around Hochgrail. For your planning, take note of the direction of travel and the section that explicitly climbs uphill.

If you prefer to explore on foot, you can take the “Großer Hochgrail - Niedergrail Rundweg Nr. S10, 551, S7A, S7.” It is eight kilometres long, crosses the Steinreib road and continues along hiking trail S7A. The route also includes a quiet section through the forest, where hikers may be able to spot wildlife. Its distance and circular format can help you factor the length of this hike into your plans.

The options differ by mode of transport and route: the Schilcher Tour North climbs uphill by bike towards Greisdorf, while the Großer Hochgrail - Niedergrail circular trail is an eight-kilometre loop on foot. You can therefore choose between a one-way cycling route and a hiking loop with a specified distance.
