Several cycling routes include Reichendorf; they lead to various waypoints and sections of countryside. Other highlights include the listed local chapel, traditional events and the bus connection to Pischelsdorf. These features raise practical questions for a stay: Which tour should be the focus, does the bus route fit your travel plans, and does a festival you would like to attend fall during your trip? Buschenschank Grabner may also be a consideration, although it operates seasonally.

Choose cycling routes by waypoint

The Käferbohnentour to the Römerweinstraße follows the WZ1 from Elz through Reichendorf, the Gottesgraben and the small settlement of Hart to a point where the WZ1 splits. Reichendorf is therefore part of a sequence of named places that begins in Elz and continues through Gottesgraben and Hart to the junction. If you use place names for orientation, this route can be distinguished from the other tours; the WZ1 junction is another notable reference point.

The Apfelland and Pöllauer Tal Runde leads through Reichendorf to Preßguts. On the Obstland-Tour, the section near Reichendorf runs alongside orchards and a small wooded area to the turn-off for Reichendorf. The routes thus differ in their landmarks: the Apfelland and Pöllauer Tal Runde continues to Preßguts, while orchards and a wooded area define the described landscape section on the Obstland-Tour. The Käferbohnentour, in turn, can be identified by its sequence through Gottesgraben and Hart and the WZ1 junction. These differences provide a practical basis for choosing a tour according to the waypoints or landscape features you would like to see.

Getting there and the connection to Pischelsdorf

To travel from Vienna to Puch on the Apfelstraßenradtour in eastern Styria, take the A2 to the Hartberg exit, then the B54 to Pischelsdorf, and continue via Reichendorf and Elz to Puch. Reichendorf is therefore on this route between Pischelsdorf and Puch. The RegioBus route 334 also connects Pischelsdorf and Reichendorf. If you plan to use the bus during your trip, check the timetable for your chosen day. The route to Puch and the bus connection between the two towns are different reference points for planning your journey.

Local chapel, events and a place to stop for refreshments

The Reichendorf local chapel is protected as a listed monument by regulation. It adds a specific cultural landmark in the village to the cycling routes. At the traditional Easter egg hunt on Easter Saturday, families and their children look for Easter nests at the Reichendorf Volunteer Fire Brigade station and meet the Easter Bunny. As dates can change from year to year, check in advance whether the Easter egg hunt falls during your travel dates. The Kulmlandfest is also a traditional annual event in Reichendorf. If you would like to plan your trip around the festival, check the date for the relevant year.

Buschenschank Grabner is located at Kulmstraße 92 in Reichendorf, at an elevation of 600 metres. It has a large panoramic terrace with views across the Styrian Apple Country to the Koralpe on the horizon. As it operates seasonally, check its current opening arrangements before visiting. This lets you include a stop for refreshments in your plans while bearing in mind that its opening times vary by season.
