Silberberg Wine Educational Trail

Highlight • Trail

The educational trail informs families about the history of viticulture.
Parents and children can learn interesting facts about the history of viticulture on the 2.5-kilometer-long adventure wine trail run by the Silberberg viticulture school. The educational trail is accessible from three sides and leads from the Silberberg school through the Silberberg vineyards up to the Silberberger Warte, where a map of Europe clearly shows the entire viticulture in Europe.
The nature trail consists of eight fruit-themed stations, 21 wine-themed stations as well as three welcome boards and twelve additional explanatory and information columns in German and English.

Silberberg Viewing Platform

Highlight • Viewpoint

A wonderful hike from Leibnitz, along the wine trail through the vineyards of the southern Styrian landscape up to the Kreuzkogel with a wonderful view. Good shoes are required and you need to be in good physical condition, but it's worth it. I experienced it myself with my wife, who is from southern Styria. I can only recommend.

Kreuzkogel lookout tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The control room, built in 1847, was given a wooden floor 130 years later. A total of 43 steps lead to the platform of the Kreuzkogelwarte, at an altitude of 496 meters.
The Kreuzkogelwarte is located in Kaindorf near Leibnitz. The ascent (from the Grottenhof Museum to the Kreuzkogel lookout point it is 2.5 km or approx. 30 minutes on foot) is rewarded with a wonderful view over southern Styria to Slovenia in good weather.

Kreuzkogel Lookout Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

Maybe interesting for MTBers. There are several ways down from the control room.

On the one hand, directly at the waiting point down to the Silberberg wine-growing school. The first 100 meters consist of coarse stone, but can be done with appropriate equipment (MTB) and technology. This is followed by simple paths along or between the wine-growing areas.

Or, about 100 meters before the Kogelberg control point, you come down a forest/forest path with partly steep sections towards Grottenhof.
