Amid fragrant gardens, regional specialties, and breathtaking viewpoints, this tour combines nature, cuisine, and authentic Almenland.

Moments of Nature and Pleasure on Two Wheels

The Garden of Eden Tour winds through the rolling hills around St. Kathrein am Offenegg and truly lives up to its name. Along the route, you’ll find lovingly landscaped gardens, traditional craft workshops, and breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains.

A special highlight is the Sulamith Garden, a unique show garden located over 1,000 meters above sea level. The Graf Distillery also invites visitors to sample the regional specialty—rowanberry brandy. Those who extend their tour to include the hike up the Eibisberg will be rewarded with a magnificent panoramic view.

Back in the town center, Eveline Wild’s “Chocolate Heaven” at Hotel Der WILDe EDER offers a sweet finale. High-quality pralines and chocolate creations invite you to sample them and take some home.
