If you are considering Petzles as a destination, you can weigh up two specific interests: hiking the St. Nikolai Circular Trail No. 5 and wine tastings at the Strauss Winery & Wine Tavern. The trail passes the Riedl wine tavern in Petzles and continues to the Hubertus Chapel; it also leads downhill to the StrauĂź wine tavern in Petzles. At the Strauss Winery & Wine Tavern, tastings take place in the wine tavern and in a tasting room in the old vaulted cellar. Petzles therefore offers a clear connection to hiking and wine to help you choose where to stay.
Hiking with clear points of reference
Variant a of the St. Nikolai Circular Trail No. 5 is 5.34 km long. This distance gives you a specific benchmark if you want to assess a route by its length in kilometres. The other route references answer a different planning question: which named places are part of the trail? The Riedl wine tavern and the Hubertus Chapel are relevant, as is the downhill path to the StrauĂź wine tavern in Petzles. The distance and the destinations serve different purposes for orientation: the kilometre figure describes variant a, while the names connect the route with specific places.
Leibnitz is listed as the nearest railway station for the St. Nikolai Circular Trail No. 5. Check the appropriate connections before you travel.
Wine tasting and winegrowing
Two tasting locations are listed at the Strauss Winery & Wine Tavern: the wine tavern and a tasting room in the old vaulted cellar. The tasting room provides another place to sample wine in addition to the wine tavern. The main Styrian grape varieties grow around the winery. Alongside the setting for the tasting, the vineyards and winegrowing also offer concrete ways to explore the subject of wine.
The structure of the business is also part of the local wine connection: three generations work under one roof at the Strauss Winery & Wine Tavern in Petzles. Together with the vineyards and the old vaulted cellar, this offers different ways to explore the subject: cultivation, tasting locations and work across generations.

Check an accommodation’s address in relation to the destinations you have planned. This lets you compare specific accommodation locations with your own plans, rather than relying on the place name alone.
