Gundersdorf’s attractions offer a range of experiences: the Farm Museum preserves western Styrian farming history, the Celtic Tree Circle features information and specific visitor amenities, and the Florlwirt viewing platform offers views over vineyards. This lets you tailor your stay to your personal interests without having to follow a fixed itinerary.

Rural history at the museum

The Gundersdorf Farm Museum preserves a piece of western Styrian farming history and offers insight into agriculture from 1850 to 1970. One special feature is a threshing demonstration: Adi demonstrates this process using an original threshing machine powered by a diesel engine. The historical period and the specific demonstration complement each other in different ways. While 1850 to 1970 defines the timeframe, the machine focuses attention on a particular agricultural process and how it was carried out technologically. This allows you to understand the museum’s exhibits both in terms of the era and through a practical example. Visitors are asked to register in advance for museum visits; bear this in mind before making firm plans to visit. For clarity, threshing is the process of separating the grains from the ears of grain. The ear is the part of the cereal plant that holds the grains; threshing separates them from the rest of the plant material.

Celtic Tree Circle and viewing platform

The Celtic Tree Circle features interesting information, a fountain, a rest area and a children’s water wheel. Unlike the Farm Museum, where the historical period and threshing demonstration provide the historical focus, the emphasis here is on information and specific features on site. The rest area provides a designated place to pause; the fountain and children’s water wheel are additional features. If any of these are important for your visit, check the details in advance, as visitor amenities like these can change.

The Florlwirt viewing platform offers views over the vineyards. Drinks such as wine, water and juices are available there around the clock on a self-service basis. Another place to enjoy wine and local hospitality is Buschenschank Ofnerpeter, a stop on the “GenussSchilchern DA – Gundersdorf” circular route. When choosing what to focus on, you can distinguish between vineyard views with self-service drinks and a Buschenschank as a stop along the circular route. Check current operating details for Ofnerpeter separately.
