Neurath: Wine, Cheese and Tours

Neurath is in the municipality of Kitzeck im Sausal. For planning your trip, it’s worth considering several different themes: wine and a traditional regional snack at the Gutjahr wine tavern, cheese-making and tastings at the Fischer cheese dairy, as well as a mountain bike tour through the area and a hiking trail leading towards it. The Kitzeck parish also lists Neurath among its mass chapels. You can organise your choices around what interests you most: food and drink at the two businesses, cycling on the Klapotetz Route, hiking on the K2 or a connection to the church through the parish.

Wine, a Traditional Snack and Cheese

The Gutjahr winery and wine tavern are in Neurath. The business offers its own wines and a traditional regional snack. If you’d like to include both in your trip plans, Gutjahr provides a specific point of interest in Neurath.

The focus at the Fischer cheese dairy, by contrast, is on the production process. Located in Neurath, the dairy is an excursion destination specialising in cheese-making and tastings. On the tour, you can experience the entire process, from obtaining the milk through processing to maturation. The visit therefore goes beyond a tasting and also includes the production process. Check the visitor programme dates before you travel.

The difference is useful when making your choice: Gutjahr focuses on its own wines and a traditional regional snack; at Fischer, tastings are combined with an insight into the journey from milk to maturation.

Mountain Biking and Hiking

The Klapotetz Route passes through Neurath and is a mountain bike tour through the southern Styrian wine landscape. The route features fantastic views and culinary highlights along the way. The Sausal circular hiking trail K2 is described differently: it climbs in the direction of Neurath. The type of activity matters when choosing between them. The Klapotetz Route takes you by mountain bike through Neurath and the wine landscape; the K2 is a hiking trail that climbs towards the area. This allows you to distinguish between cycling and hiking routes. You’ll find culinary experiences both at the Neurath businesses and as a feature of the Klapotetz Route.

The Connection to Kitzeck Parish

Kitzeck parish has four mass chapels, including Neurath. This number describes the parish structure; the location details for Gutjahr and the Fischer cheese dairy, by contrast, place the businesses in Neurath. For orientation, it’s helpful to distinguish between the individual area and Kitzeck parish. Neurath appears in both contexts, but in different roles: as the location of the two businesses and as part of the chapel structure mentioned above.
