Adventure region Graz in summer
Variety and adventure are very important in Graz. The old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, impresses with its historical charm and modern vibrancy. Whether it’s a visit to the “friendly alien” aka Art museum, a medieval excursion to the Zeughaus, a curious city tour with the night watch or a leisurely walk to the clock tower on the Schlossberg – the variety is inexhaustible. Where the city boasts cultural highlights, the region around Graz scores with lush nature and numerous outdoor experiences. The picturesque vineyards, the “local mountain” Schöckl or the surrounding lakes invite you to explore by bike or on foot. Gourmets and connoisseurs can enjoy culinary highlights such as Styrian pumpkin seed oil and first-class wine.

Climbing in Graz and the Graz Mountains
The Graz mountains are ideal for short and quick climbing trips and unforgettable adventures. If you don’t want to travel too far, the best thing to do is head north: here, in the Andritz Weinzödl climbing garden, the Graz climbing community meets for climbing sessions in the early summer and late autumn seasons. If you have never climbed on rocks outdoors, the best option is to use the City Adventure Center directly in the JUFA Hotel Graz City.

Golfing in the Graz adventure region
The public 9-hole Executive Course at the Grazer MurAuen Golf Club is an ideal golfing facility for players of all skill levels and age groups. Due to the short travel time from downtown Graz and the JUFA Hotel Graz City***, you can enjoy golfing here even during a city trip and without a club membership.
The 18-hole course at the Erzherzog Johann Golf Club is considered a hidden gem in Austria. High forests, gentle hills, and tranquil watercourses, ponds, and lakes along the fairways create a unique natural backdrop, just a few minutes away from the JUFA Hotel Maria Lankowitz***.
