Tour in search of oil
Take the oil tour and go in search of the gold of Styria. The cyclists heartland of St. Martin im Sulmtal is the starting point for this exploration. And the scent of the freshly pressed pumpkin seed oil by the Lorenz oil mill will spoil your nose from the outset. The fertile pumpkin fields and the vineyards of the Schilcherland region make this tour unique. Seed oil stains on your clothes? No problem - the sun works wonders!
