With the camper through Styria
Our culinary voyages of discovery We usually do this with our own car and stay in hotels in the area. But of course, it can also be done differently. For example, one of our favorite culinary regions, the Styria in Austria, also easy to explore with a camper. We were in three different, culinary very interesting areas of Styria However, motorhome travelers should keep certain things in mind:
Some producers of Styrian specialties are remote
Not every producer of Styrian specialties can be reached via wide federal highways. While the Zotter chocolate factory and the Käseart cheese maker in Riegersburg are easily accessible, the ham paradise of Vulcano, for example, is more remote. In Southern Styria, however, the gourmet shelf in Ehrenhausen is easy to find. Things get more difficult with remote wine taverns, which can only be reached via the narrow roads of the Southern Styrian Wine Road.
Even on the Schilcher Wine Route, it's difficult for larger vehicles to climb the steep paths up to the wineries on the slopes above the valley. In other places, the route leads through narrow forest paths with low-hanging branches. Therefore, motorhome drivers are advised to call the wineries, pumpkin seed oil producers, or ham manufacturers of their choice before arriving to find out the best and easiest way to reach the site by motorhome.
Parking is not always set up for campers
While it shouldn't be a problem for farmers or winegrowers to park their motorhomes at the edge of fields or roads in most cases, this isn't always the case. On the narrow, steep slopes along the Southern Styrian Wine Road, it's sometimes difficult even for cars to find a parking space at the Heurigen of your choice. Especially in summer or autumn, crowds are high during the holiday season or harvest time. A motorhome makes this difficult. Therefore, it's worth checking in advance whether there are enough parking spaces. Parking for a mobile home is available. The same applies to holidays in the spring months.
Tips for RV travel
Motorhomes are perfect for culinary discovery tours
Of course, motorhomes are perfect for culinary exploration. After all, they offer plenty of space for souvenirs from these regions. Therefore, it is especially recommended to travel there during harvest time, as you can take home fresh produce such as the delicious juices from Styria or the healthy pumpkin seed oil in larger quantities. Genussregal in Ehrenhausen It's a great place to stop, for example, if you're traveling in a motorhome and want to restock your supplies for home. Many regional products are available there directly from the producers, and the museum also offers detailed explanations of the products.
