The "Tour of Styria" is also growing as part of the exercise revolution. On Monday, the initiators made a stop in Feldbach.

The Styrian movement revolution, the largest initiative of its kind ever seen in Austria, was launched last summer. The aim was to motivate Styrians to take more everyday exercise and thus give them more healthy years of life. This time, the initiative of the Styrian Health Fund and the umbrella sports associations (Askö, Asvö and Union) brought everyday exercise to south-eastern Styria.

Regular exercise has increasingly been lost in our society. Yet it is a key to more healthy years of life.

We cycled through the town of Feldbach - and news about the "Tour de Steiermark" was also presented.

Eleven districts are already signposted
As part of this tour, nine defined points of the movement revolution can be reached on foot or by bike in each of the districts. Southeast Styria was the first district in which these destinations were signposted: Aussichtswarte St. Peter/O., Gleichenberger Kogelrundweg, Vulkanlandwarte, Rundweg Bad Radkersburg/Liebmannsee, Gleichenberger Radweg R45, Murturm Bad Radkersburg, Riegersburg, Vulkanlandsternwarte, Seerosenbad Kirchberg an der Raab.

The movement revolution has already achieved a great deal and countless projects are now underway throughout Styria.
