Straß
in Steiermark.
Wine TastingHiking
Straß in Steiermark lies among the vineyard hills of South Styria, on the region's wine route. Small family-run wineries and Buschenschank taverns dot the slopes, where growers pour their own vintage alongside cold cuts and local cheese. Paths climb from the village through rows of vines toward wooded ridges, with views opening over the hills along the way. The vineyards see the most activity at harvest in autumn and come into blossom in spring. Neighboring villages such as Gleinstetten, Ratsch an der Weinstraße, and Sankt Nikolai im Sausal share the same wine-growing landscape, each with its own cellars and local produce. Straß keeps a modest, working character: vineyards and cellar doors, and the seasonal rhythm of a wine village through its year.
