The Buschenschankrunde Burgfeld combines a themed hiking trail with a cheese tasting at Milchhof Wurzinger; the Genusstour (Panoramaweg) Fehring leads through the Kellergassl and to the Kuruzzenkogel. Hiking and culinary experiences thus feature alongside a chapel with clay reliefs and distinctive geological features as recognisable aspects of Burgfeld. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, these experiences can help you get a feel for the area: what would you like to make the focus of your trip?
Hiking trails with different highlights
The cheese tasting at Milchhof Wurzinger is one of the highlights of the Buschenschankrunde; check whether you can take part before you arrive. The Genusstour (Panoramaweg) Fehring leads through the Kellergassl and to the Kuruzzenkogel. The HeiĂźberg offers impressive views. Remains of a defensive wall lie behind the Kuruzzenschenke. In the route details for the Genusstour, Burgfeld is listed as a stop at an elevation of 390 m; in the route sequence, the entry is at 2.7 km. The two route descriptions therefore emphasise different things: the tasting on one route, and the Kellergassl, views and wall remains on the other.
The chapel and geological features
Fourteen Stations of the Cross images made of clay lead up to the Kuruzzenkogel Chapel at Burgfeld 40. Local artist Stefan Maitz redesigned it in 1976. The Kuruzzenkogel is known for its basalt tuffs containing large hornblendes; large olivine bombs are a characteristic feature of the local tuff deposit. The nearby quarry in Burgfeld also consists of basalt tuffs. Religious art and geological features thus offer two different perspectives on Burgfeld.
Wine experiences and places to eat
At Weinhof Konrad, you can book a wine tasting with a look inside the cellar by prior arrangement during Buschenschank opening hours. Check the booking and operating conditions again before your trip. The Kuruzzenschenke, run by the Konrad family, is a destination in southeastern Styria and offers homemade specialities and excellent wines. Wine is sold there year-round, including outside Buschenschank opening hours; a telephone reservation is required. Weinhof Konrad’s vineyards lie to the southeast on volcanic, sandy-loamy soil; the winery currently cultivates 8 ha of vines. A tasting with a look inside the cellar and wine sales at the Kuruzzenschenke are different options that you can plan for with the required advance arrangements. The key difference for your planning is the timing: the tasting is tied to Buschenschank opening hours, while wine can be purchased year-round, including outside those hours, with a telephone reservation.
Which highlight suits your trip?
If you are looking for a culinary experience while hiking, the Buschenschankrunde, with its cheese tasting, offers a different focus from the Genusstour, with its Kellergassl, views and Kuruzzenkogel. These specific differences can help you weigh up your interests before searching for a holiday apartment and decide what you would like to focus on in Burgfeld.
