Discover Reichendorf: Cycling Routes, Apple Country and Local Traditions

Reichendorf combines varied tours with insights into the Styrian Apple Country and vibrant local traditions. Those planning a trip can choose between excursions along orchards, regional culture and special events such as the traditional Easter egg hunt. When looking for a suitable holiday apartment or accommodation, it is worth deciding on your preferred daily rhythm early on: Should the trip focus primarily on tours, scenic impressions or cultural discoveries?

Tours through the Landscape and Region

Several named tours lead over or through Reichendorf, each with a different focus. The Käferbohnen Tour to the Roman Wine Road follows the WZ1 from Elz via Reichendorf, the Gottesgraben and the small settlement of Hart to a point where the WZ1 divides. This precise route makes the tour an interesting choice for travelers who want to consciously connect place names and landscapes along the way.

The Apple Country and Pöllau Valley Loop also passes through Reichendorf on its way to Preßguts. On the Orchardland Tour, the section from Reichendorf is characterized by orchards and a small wooded area; the route then continues to the turnoff for Reichendorf. Those who would like to travel by bicycle can also find the Apple Road Cycling Tour in Eastern Styria, which is explicitly designated as a cycling tour. The stated route from Vienna to Puch follows the A2 to the Hartberg exit, continues via the B54 to Pischelsdorf and then via Reichendorf and Elz to Puch.

Getting There and Orientation

Public transport is also a specific point of reference for orientation on site: RegioBus route 334 connects Pischelsdorf and Reichendorf. In addition, the described route via Hartberg, Pischelsdorf, Reichendorf and Elz provides a clear sequence for the journey from Vienna to Puch. Depending on which of the routes and local attractions mentioned you would like to include in your travel plans, this information can be taken into account when choosing a holiday apartment.

Village Chapel, Local Traditions and Regional Refreshments

The Reichendorf village chapel is part of the area’s cultural orientation. It is protected as a listed monument by ordinance and thus represents the historical side of the village. Families traveling around Easter Saturday can also consider including the traditional Easter egg hunt at the fire station of the Reichendorf Volunteer Fire Brigade in their plans. There, families search for Easter nests with their children and meet the Easter Bunny. The Kulmland Festival is another special feature: it is a traditional annual event in Reichendorf.

A specific point of reference for the region is Buschenschank Grabner at Kulmstraße 92 in Reichendorf. It is located at an elevation of 600 meters and has a large panoramic terrace offering views over the Styrian Apple Country as far as the Koralpe on the horizon. This scenic impression complements the tours with a more peaceful view of the surroundings, without requiring you to limit your trip to a single type of experience.

The Right Accommodation for Your Travel Plans

A holiday apartment in Reichendorf is particularly well suited to your plans if you would like to combine various excursion ideas: a tour through Reichendorf, a visit to the village chapel, an event related to the Easter egg hunt or a drive through the Apple Country. What matters is your personal preference. The named routes take center stage on active days, while local traditions, Buschenschank and panoramic landscapes provide different accents. This allows you to tailor your search for a holiday home or holiday apartment to the kind of stay you want for your family.
