Bad Waltersdorf Culinary Tour

The Gourmet Tour is a popular trail that can be hiked or ridden on an e-mountain bike all year round. Along the 12 km route, there are 24 experience stops as well as numerous culinary stops—from traditional wine taverns and inns to wineries and farm shops—that can be discovered throughout the year. With a stamp pass, you can take part in the Gourmet Tour prize draw. Great regional prizes are raffled off every year.

The culinary experience is not only symbolized by the snack boards along the way. More than 13 culinary stations and farm shops invite you to linger, from cake & coffee to hearty snacks and a good glass of wine.

From the historic town center, you reach the spa park directly with the public thermal spa. Turn right and you’ll arrive at the first culinary station, the family-run wine tavern “Der Pieber”. Followed by “Weinhof Buschenschank Thaler”, where music is also at home. Fortified by the first delicacies, the route leads uphill through the forest. The strenuous climb is worth it! The “Maluhof” offers not only homemade treats but also a breathtaking view over Bad Waltersdorf, a large playground for children, and farm animals to meet. From here, the route continues over the “Sauberg”. At Hofladen Janisch, you’ll get an insight into farming, a life as you imagine it. After two more experience stations, you reach Leitersdorf and the village inn Seiler-Ziegler. Here the route goes gently downhill. A rest in the cozy garden under large, old trees is a must. For the next climb, you can quickly refill your snack bag at Hofladen Fiedler. Then it’s uphill to the Bergstadl wine tavern. Once seated on the panoramic terrace, the Thermal and Volcanic Region stretches out before you with all its natural beauty. After a good kilometer, passing the blowpipe and archery course, you reach a small motor skills park at the Gasthof-Restaurant Teuschler-Mogg.

Time for the final stretch. Passing the 18-hole golf course—with the golf restaurant “Das Willis”—the well-known church tower of Bad Waltersdorf comes into view. Sometimes you’re lucky and are guided by the hot-air balloons above the town centre. At the Thermenbauer shop in town, you’ll find tasty souvenirs to take home. The finish is back at the spa park. Don’t forget: pick up your ice cream at the Kulturhaus—free with three stamps. Fill out the prize card and drop it into the mailbox at the finish point.
