Comments:
*A slight detour uphill from Selmnau to Antoniuskapelle will give riders a fantastic 3-country panoramic view
This circuit, while not specifically wine-themed, covers some of the same area on the Geniesserweg/Obst-Wein und See (Fruit-Wine and Lake) hiking circuit, and other area vineyards as well.
