Discover Graßnitzberg: Vineyards and Trails

With its vineyards, trails and traditional wine taverns, Graßnitzberg is a destination for active holidays and days spent enjoying the region’s food and wine. A hilly e-bike route climbs up to Graßnitzberg after passing through Spielfeld; a hiking trail leads from Spielfeld station through vineyards and past traditional wine taverns. There are also wine tastings by prior arrangement and the Muster Stub'n, housed in a more than 250-year-old building with a partly thatched roof. When planning your visit, consider both how you would like to get around and the visiting conditions for each offering.

Comparing the cycling route and hiking trail

The Weinstraßentour Variante Ottenberg-Ratsch route is hilly and suitable for e-bikes. After passing through Spielfeld, it climbs uphill to Graßnitzberg. The hilly terrain and the route described here are useful points of reference when planning your day. By contrast, the Spielfelder Weingärten – Natur – Archäologieweg leads from Spielfeld station up to Graßnitzberg, past traditional wine taverns and through vineyards. The routes therefore differ in how you travel and in their stated features: a hilly e-bike tour after passing through Spielfeld, or a walking trail from the station through vineyards and past traditional wine taverns. You can choose the tour that best suits your preferred way of getting around.

Wine tastings and traditional wine taverns

Weinhof Kugel is nestled among the vineyards on Graßnitzberg. In 2026, it offers wine tastings during opening hours by prior arrangement; arrange your visit before you arrive. The traditional wine tavern at Weingut Primus is open to groups by prior arrangement. So, if you are visiting as a group, it is advisable to make arrangements in advance. The conditions for these two offerings differ: opening hours and advance booking are part of planning a visit to Weinhof Kugel, while advance booking is essential for groups at Primus.

The Muster Stub'n traditional wine tavern is housed in a more than 250-year-old building with a partly thatched roof. It serves wines from Weingut Polz-Kiefer and delicacies from regional producers. The building’s age and partly thatched roof are distinctive architectural details; the offering also includes wines and regional produce. This sets the Muster Stub'n apart in its described focus from both wine tastings at Weinhof Kugel and group visits to Primus.

A hiking destination with views into Slovenia

A hiking trail leads from the car park not far from Weingut Tement to the observation tower on Platschberg, on the Slovenian side. From the tower, the panoramic view extends across Southern Styria and into Slovenia. With its clearly identified destination, this hike differs from the trails leading to Graßnitzberg: here, the observation tower is the destination, with views across the border. If you enjoy heading for a particular viewpoint, you can identify this trail by its starting point and destination.
