Sulztal: Discover wine and hiking trails

For a stay in Sulztal, wine, wine taverns and trails with different destinations can shape your travel plans. The culinary offerings range from Brettljause and organic wines to homemade specialties, wines produced on site and juices. The routes differ in their course, named stops or views. So consider whether wine tasting and stopping for a meal, or specific trail destinations, will play a bigger part in your stay. When choosing somewhere to eat, there are two distinct culinary highlights: at Otto Knaus, you can choose between traditional and vegan Brettl-Jause. Buschenschank Hofmann pairs wine tasting with typical Styrian specialties. Your choice can therefore depend on whether you prefer different types of Jause or the combination of tasting and food.
