A well-maintained campsite with a large number of long-term campers. The swimming pond is clean and equipped with an entrance, a lake, and a jetty. A cold shower is available. Cakes and delicious homemade stone-baked pizza are available in the pavilion.

My fellow cyclists camp here several times a year. Great atmosphere, very clean facilities and Karl-Heinz or Monika always have a good Schilcher blend for sale.

Pension Wolkenreich! You can really feel at home with Klaus and Ingrid Kowatsch. Check out the homepage! There is a chemical-free swimming biotope with loungers, a sauna and five different rooms or apartments with and without breakfast. There are also parking spaces in front of and behind the house. The price is right too!

The Red Lightning of the Graz-Köflacher Bahn (GKB) once ran through the Sulmtal. From the Leibnitz train station, the cycle path often leads over the former railway line. Beautiful landscape!
