Discover Sankt Peter Am Ottersbach

Sankt Peter Am Ottersbach combines wine country, scenic paths, regional cuisine and unusual collections to create a varied travel destination. The Southeast Styrian Hills Wine Route ends in the centre; at the same time, the three St. Peter wine hiking trails begin here. Those looking for a holiday apartment as a base for different kinds of holiday days can choose between activities in the countryside, culture, panoramic views and time at the swimming pool.

Experience the Wine Trails and Landscape Consciously

The Wine & Mill Trail begins at Petersplatz and follows the Ottersbach stream to the Ottersbach Mill. This connects a starting point in the village with a route along the stream. Along the Wine & Mill Trail, several winegrowers invite visitors to sample their products. Another option for regional discoveries is the Wine and Tower Trail, where winegrowers invite visitors to tastings. The two trails have different focuses, but both remain closely connected with viticulture and local products.

The Rosarium is also located directly on a circular hiking trail. It can therefore be included as a destination of its own in a hiking plan, without the entire holiday having to focus on long tours. Those looking for a special view over the surrounding area will find a striking vantage point at the wine lookout. From there, at a height of 25 metres, there is a panoramic view over Slovenia and the Bachern Mountains, the Karawanks and the Schöckl, the Gleinalm and Riegersburg, extending to the Hungarian Plain.

A Striking Landmark and Regional Delicacies

The wine lookout itself is a 28-metre-high wooden structure in the shape of a wine glass. Its unusual design makes it a memorable destination within the local wine landscape. When choosing accommodation, such different holiday interests can provide helpful guidance: you can focus your trip more strongly on wine trails and tastings, or combine panoramic views and short discoveries with other activities.

One of the culinary stops is Sepp's Berglermühle. This traditional wine tavern prepares exclusively local products and serves them with wine in Sankt Peter am Ottersbach. Regional food culture is therefore just as much at the centre of attention as the landscape. Those looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home may therefore wish to consider the village especially if wine hikes and local specialities are to shape the character of the trip.

Museums for Different Interests

Sankt Peter Am Ottersbach also offers unusual cultural destinations. Antons Oldtimer displays around 40 tractors. One of them is a 1918 Fordson, considered the oldest tractor in the collection. The Hunting, Nature & Poaching Museum, on the other hand, focuses on hunting equipment and taxidermied animals from the local wildlife. It offers half-day or full-day museum tours and hikes. This makes it possible to shape a stay around different themes: the history of technology, nature and guided activities each offer their own opportunities for discovery.

The parish church of St. Peter am Ottersbach is also part of the village's cultural landscape and is a listed monument. Together with the museums and the wine lookout, it creates a destination where the landscape, a protected historic building and informative collections stand side by side.

Swimming and Other Places in the Surrounding Area

For a break from wine trails and museum visits, the St. Peter am Ottersbach leisure complex includes an outdoor swimming pool with a large pool, a water slide and a children's pool. This provides an additional option for a holiday day catering to different interests and age groups, without focusing the stay exclusively on hikes or sightseeing.
