Eastern Styria in summer

It is not called the “Garden of Austria” for nothing: Eastern Styria, with its rolling hills, sweeping valleys and lush nature, is a popular natural recreation area and at the same time a breeding ground for regional delicacies. The famous Styrian apples, which are prized for their high quality and sweet taste, thrive in the famous apple country around Stubenberg. The nearby Stubenbergsee lake is ideal for swimming and relaxing, but also offers countless leisure activities such as boating and hiking. Cycling enthusiasts and culture lovers can conquer the East Styrian countryside on the Schlösserstraße and cycle along the traces of history. Herberstein Castle – with an impressive collection of works of art and extensive gardens – completes a successful excursion with the neighboring zoo, which is home to a variety of exotic and native animals. The surrounding Buschenschänke wine taverns offer local wines and produce, so you won’t miss out on the culinary delights.
