Description: The giant tour lives up to its name. In fact, it is the north-south crossing of the Styrian Volcanic Land. This route stretches from the striking Riegersburg Castle, perched on the volcano, almost to the Murauen meadows. The return journey via Tieschen, Hochstraden, Kapfenstein and Weinberg is extremely scenic along the ridges of the hills and a stretch along the East Styrian Wine Route. You will reach the highest point of this circular tour in Straden in southeastern Styria.
