Feldbach.

Wine TastingHiking

Feldbach is the lively heart of the Vulkanland Styria region, where ancient volcanic activity shaped both the landscape and its unique wine character. As the regional capital, it combines the services of a market town with access to the distinctive volcanic wine culture that defines the area. The historic Tabor, a fortified church complex, stands as proof of the town's medieval past. Weekly markets fill the town square with local produce, wines, and crafts, creating a lively atmosphere. The surrounding volcanic landscape offers cycling and hiking opportunities, while local wine estates showcase the mineral-rich character of volcanic wines. Feldbach provides an authentic base for exploring the geological and cultural uniqueness of this lesser-known Austrian wine region.
