Discover Labitschberg

Labitschberg combines hiking and cycling routes with winegrowing and tastings. If you are looking for a hotel in Labitschberg, you can start by considering whether trails, wine or an event date should be the focus of your trip. The individual routes and activities offer different points to consider when planning.

Hiking Trails and Cycling Route

The Große Gamlitzer Rundwanderweg No. 8 passes through the Presstal and Labitschberg on its way to Kranachberg. The “Über Stock und Wein” nature park hiking trail is marked with orange signs and trail markers. On the “Over hill and dale” nature park hiking trail, you can choose between a short and a long route; you can start at any of the 13 farms. The routes therefore differ in what matters most for planning: the circular trail is described as passing through several places, while the options and starting points are key for “Over hill and dale.”

Cyclists will also find a described route: the Weinstraßentour leads from Gamlitz via Labitschberg and Kranachberg, climbing towards these two places on quiet municipal roads. This offers different ways to plan your activities: a hiking trail with a named route through the Presstal and a cycling tour with a described climb. These details can help you consider the activities for your stay separately.

Winegrowing and Tastings

Buschenschank Tinnauer at Labitschberg 42 is right beside a hiking trail. On Thursdays from April to November, it offers a tasting menu with wine pairings. As this is a seasonal offering, check the details before you travel.

At Weinbau Liener, you can enjoy a guided tasting of its own products in a vaulted cellar dating from the 18th century. Check the reservation and visiting arrangements before you travel. Weingut Franz & Carmen Pongratz has a tasting room in a vaulted cellar that is more than 300 years old. There, too, you should check visiting times and arrangements in advance, as they may change.

Winegrowing in Labitschberg includes different vineyard areas: Weingut Tinnauer grows typical Südsteiermark DAC wines on five hectares. Weingut Klapsch cultivates a vineyard area of about four hectares on the south-facing slope. The Labitschberg and Rosenberg vineyard sites have warm, airy soils formed from deep sandy-clayey deposits with tiny particles of weathered rock. Alongside details about the wineries, soil conditions and hillside location are specific aspects of the wine landscape to consider.

The 2026 Weinblütenwanderung

The 15th Weinblütenwanderung took place in 2026 on Kranachberg and Labitschberg. It led through blooming vineyards and past culinary stops, with six varied stops in total. These details refer to the 2026 event. If you are planning a trip for a later date, check the relevant event dates separately.

This gives you several possible focuses for planning your trip: hiking routes, the climb on the Weinstraßentour, seasonal wine offerings or an event. For tastings, it is worth checking visiting arrangements in advance; for seasonal offerings, take note of the stated period.
