Reiting offers several distinct points of interest for a stay: viticulture in the Reiting hills, the history of the chapel, and tours on foot and by bike. Weingut Hutter has specific time slots for wine tastings and wine sales; a described hiking route starts at Feldbach Landesbahn station. This gives you an initial idea when planning: Would you like to get to know Reiting mainly through wine, local history or an outdoor activity? Each of the following topics can be considered as a focus in its own right.
Winegrowing and wine tastings
The vineyards in the Reiting hills have long been considered ideal for winegrowing. If you would like to get to know Reiting through its wine, this is an obvious focus. Weingut Hutter carries the designation “Vulkanland Route 66 - Erlebnismanufaktur”. At Weingut Hutter, Reiting 2, A-8330 Feldbach, wine tastings and wine sales are available without prior booking from Monday to Saturday, 9:00 am to 12:00 pm and 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm. Opening hours may change, so check them before your visit. The two daily time slots help with planning your day: you can schedule your visit for the morning or afternoon and arrange other plans around it.
Reiting Chapel and its history
Reiting Chapel was consecrated on 8 August 1954 and extended with a bell tower in 1994. This sequence—the consecration followed by a later extension—gives the chapel a clearly defined historical context. For travellers who would like to include culture and local history in their stay, it offers a distinct point of interest. The four decades between the consecration and the extension make the chapel’s development tangible in time.
Hiking and cycling
Hiking route starting at Feldbach Landesbahn
A hiking route described in April 2023 starts at Feldbach Landesbahn station and passes through Fisswald forest and along a ridge past Weingut Hutter. For the journey there, the route description names the Gleichenberger Bahn and getting off at Feldbach Landesbahn station. Check the timetable before travelling and the trail conditions before setting out. This lets you plan the train journey together with the described route and include the starting point in your day’s plans.
The Tatschkerlandtour
The Tatschkerlandtour is described as a leisurely cycling tour around the catchment area of the Gnas parish. Its focus is therefore cycling; the other route described is a hiking route with a specifically named railway access point. The route description from April 2023 places the first prominent sign for the Tatschkerlandtour on the ridge after Weingut Hutter. This means the tours call for different planning approaches: for the hike, the station and route are important; for the Tatschkerlandtour, it is the signposted cycling route and its regional setting. Check the trail conditions before setting out for this tour too.
