Parking: Cemetery, Wenigzell

From the starting point, the village square in Wenigzell (opposite the "Zur Taverne" inn), we cycle in the direction of Buchtelbar, at the next junction we keep left and cycle past the petrol station. Shortly afterwards we turn right again towards Bratlalm. At the junction to the Bratlalm (the snack station is about 300 meters away), we continue straight ahead and follow the asphalt road for about 2 kilometers until we reach the sea buckthorn gardens of Sandicca. Here we come to a beautiful meadow or gravel path. On a downhill section, we also pass the Wenigzell heating plant. From here, we follow the road back to our starting point, where we tackle another short climb. At the end of the tour, we can stop for refreshments at one of the many inns or cafés in the center of Wenigzell.
A visit to the Sandicca sea buckthorn gardens is very worthwhile: guided tours, tastings and a store with the home-grown products await you.
Timetables and travel information can be found at Österreichische Bundesbahnen (ÖBB) or at Verkehrsauskunft Verbundlinie. For local transportation we recommend the SAM-Sammeltaxi Oststeiermark.
Parking spaces are available in Wenigzell at the old armory, the cemetery and in front of the elementary school.
