Discover Fötschach: Wine Landscapes, Culture and Carriage Rides
Accommodation in Fötschach
Fötschach combines wine landscapes, regional culture and special excursions into a travel concept with many different facets. The Glanz Wine Tour with wine culture leads through vineyards, forests and meadows. Those looking for a holiday apartment can therefore tailor their trip according to whether they want to focus more on landscape experiences, wine tastings, regional dining or special rides.
Paths through vineyards, forests and meadows
For active days, the Glanz Wine Tour with wine culture offers a landscape of vineyards, forests and meadows. The surroundings can be explored through more than just one route concept. On the Glanz Farm Tour 1, the first stage leads from the village centre of Leutschach towards Fötschach to the Neues Jägerwirt restaurant. This specific route helps you plan your day around your preferred starting and finishing points without equating the different tours with one another.
For families who want to combine different interests, this makes it possible to create a varied stay: one day can make room for a route through the landscape, another for culinary discoveries or a special ride. Which holiday apartment seems suitable as a base depends above all on your planned itinerary and the experiences you choose.
Chapel, bell and regional culinary culture
A distinctive cultural feature is the Gaube-Jammernegg Chapel in Fötschach. After three years of construction, which began in 2014, it was rebuilt in September 2016. The chapel also has a bell from the Grassmayr bell foundry in Innsbruck. Those interested in regional architectural history and special craftsmanship will find a specific cultural point of reference here when planning their trip.
The culinary side can also be incorporated into your days. Weingut/Gästezimmer Resch vlg. Powoden offers wine tastings at Fötschach 45, 8463 Leutschach. The Buschenschank Tscheppe has been in existence since 1978 and serves homemade specialities as well as wines from its own production. When choosing your accommodation, you can therefore consider whether wine and regional cuisine should be a central focus of your stay.
Carriage rides and seasonal excursions
The Schupanez carriage rides offer a special way to get to know the wine country. They include carriage rides through the wine country and the hop-growing region, with visits to traditional wine taverns. Torchlight rides and moonlight rides are also available. In winter, sleigh rides are added.
This gives you a choice of different excursion formats that vary according to the time of day and season. A torchlight or moonlight ride creates a different atmosphere from a daytime ride; in winter, a sleigh ride changes the way the excursion is planned. If you are travelling with several generations, you can take these different experiences into account when planning without structuring every day of your holiday in the same way.
