Pure Luxury

“Call me spoiled - but I love to be treated like a queen when traveling. Only the best is good enough for me. Hotels that make my vacation a dream of luxury and seduction are my choices. Pay attention to the (violet Medal) for luxury accommodation.”

Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

Markus Lenk, Düsseldorf, Germany

There are several specific ways to explore Lemsitz: a Schilcher tour along side roads, sections by the Lemsitzbach, wine tasting and historical connections. Lemsitz is part of the Stainz local winegrowing area in the West Styrian wine-growing region; different routes pass through the village or reach the stream. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, first consider what you would like to focus on during your stay: winegrowing, a particular type of route or the village’s history. The tours differ in their route sections and give you specific ways to explore Lemsitz according to your interests.

Routes with Different Highlights

Variant 1 of the Schilcher Tour North No. 702 passes through Lemsitz and follows side roads through the Schilcher wine-growing area. The village section and the roads through the wine-growing area are the two main points of reference for this variant. If you would rather focus on the Lemsitzbach than on winegrowing, the GenussSchilchern-DORT-Tour offers a different emphasis. It leads to Lemsitz and downhill to the Lemsitzbach. The section includes crossing a bridge; there is also an opportunity to cool your feet in the clear water.

The Schilcherberg Run has a different focus again. It passes through Lemsitz, then follows a forest and forestry road along the Lemsitzbach back to its starting point at Schloss Stainz. Compared with the GenussSchilchern-DORT-Tour, the difference is especially clear at the stream: the downhill section there includes crossing a bridge and the opportunity to cool your feet in the clear water; on the run, the notable feature is the return route along the stream to Schloss Stainz. Compared with Variant 1 of the Schilcher Tour North, the focus here is also on the forest and forestry road rather than side roads through the Schilcher wine-growing area. This makes it possible to distinguish the tours by the character of their routes.

Winegrowing and Tasting

Winegrowing offers another way to explore Lemsitz: the village is part of the Stainz local winegrowing area in the West Styrian wine-growing region. These designations identify the local and wider wine-growing areas. At Weingut Niggas vlg. Schleicher, you can taste the wines grown on the estate. Telephone reservations are required for guided wine tastings, so be sure to call before your visit.

Historical Connections

Local history offers a different focus from routes and wine. The long-vanished ancestral castle of the Lemsitz family was located in what is now the cadastral municipality of Lemsitz. Lemsitz is also part of the village’s history as a former fortified structure; the term refers to its former defensive function. Around 1190, the names Richker and Niklas de Lemsnice appear in the death registers of Seckau Abbey. These historical references offer different perspectives: on a vanished building, the former function of a fortified structure and medieval mentions of names.
