Delight in awe-inspiring views from Schöckl, the local mountain of Graz. It’s a beloved trekking destination and recreation area. You can either hike up or take the cable car to get away from it all at high altitudes. The Schöckl Trail Area is also a spectacular adventure for mountain bikers and downhill skiers.

The Slide Graz with a track length of 170 meters makes sliding a very special experience. It starts at the station “Uhrturmkasematte”, inside the mountain below the clock tower. Here you whiz from the top to the bottom station in about 40 seconds – a must-see for young and old.

If you follow the Murradweg south, you’ll soon reach the magnificent Styrian wine country, also called Styrian Tuscany. The countless traditional Styrian wine taverns (Buschenschänke) can also be reached conveniently by car. Along with the famous “Brettljause,” you’ll enjoy regional pastries, exquisite wines, and organic fruit juices. Most Buschenschänken are located in gorgeous surroundings and are a magical place for children to discover. On the 25-km-long Apple Road (Apfelstraße) in eastern Styria, fruit farms are waiting for you with fresh fruit, juices and spirits as well as the freshest must (a type of perry or cider) and apple schnapps for tasting.
