Oberrettenbach: Hiking Trails, Fuchsberg and the Genussrunde

Oberrettenbach offers starting points for hiking and cycling tours, as well as regional produce. When planning your trip, it is worth considering the different scales: some trails pass through Oberrettenbach, while further leisure activities are available at the level of the municipality of Gersdorf an der Feistritz. The landscape, named routes and produce along a tour offer different themes to consider in your plans.

Hiking and Landscape

Fuchsberg in Oberrettenbach is one of the particularly scenic areas of the municipality of Gersdorf an der Feistritz. A hiking route led from the waste collection centre via Rohrwegberg to the municipal boundary with Sinabelkirchen, then back to the starting point via Rothgmos and Premberg.

Fuchsberg draws attention to the character of the landscape; the hiking route maps out the way via individual stops and the return journey. This lets you distinguish between an interest in a landscape and one in a named route. The route includes both a connection to the municipal boundary and a return to the starting point, while Fuchsberg is named as a distinct scenic landmark.

Cycling Tours and Regional Produce

The Apple Road cycling tour in Eastern Styria passes through Oberrettenbach. Along the tour, numerous farms sell products directly from the farm, and self-service stands invite you to sample and buy regional produce. The tour thus combines cycling with opportunities to discover and purchase products from the region. It is especially interesting if you would like to include both cycling and regional produce in your trip plans.

The East Styrian Genussrunde, route 924, follows Mühlweg and Oberrettenbach Weg to the Oberrettenbach municipal office. On this route, the named roads and destination provide specific directions. By contrast, the Apple Road cycling tour focuses on farms and self-service stands along the route. The different details help you weigh up a named route against cycling with regional products. As route details can change, check the current course of the Genussrunde before planning.

Leisure Activities in the Municipality

The municipality of Gersdorf an der Feistritz offers numerous hiking and cycling trails, as well as Kneipp facilities, tennis, horse riding and swimming. This municipality-wide range of leisure activities extends beyond the individual routes in Oberrettenbach and is useful if you are considering several activities for your trip.

The Kneipp facility in Gersdorf includes natural stone basins for arm baths, a water column for knee and foot pours, benches along the herb beds, as well as a foot reflexology path and barefoot trails. Water treatments, resting places beside herb beds and paths for walking barefoot are the facility’s distinct features.

Gersdorf outdoor swimming pool offers a beach volleyball court, a table tennis area, a children’s playground, a sports field and two adjacent tennis courts. In contrast to the Kneipp facility, the focus here is on sports and play areas. The two adjacent tennis courts are another specific part of what Gersdorf has to offer.
