On the road in Austria's largest Almenland
Just 50 km north of the provincial and cultural capital of Graz, a stone’s throw from Weiz, is Austria’s largest contiguous Alpine pasture area. The Almenland Nature Park awaits you with lush green meadows, deep green forests and a multitude of hiking trails and mountain bike routes.
Visiting the black stork & gray heron in the Raabklamm gorge
The Raabklamm is the longest gorge in Austria, stretching 17 km between Arzberg and Oberdorf in Styria. Depending on your fitness level and “when are we going to take a break” status, hikers can choose between the large and small Raabklamm gorge.

Bathing experience for the whole family
Enjoy a comfortable and relaxing summer’s day in the outdoor pool or adventure pool.
The Weiz outdoor pool is located right next to the hotel. A giant slide and the current channel are highlights of the solar-heated pool. Around the outdoor pool there is a very well-kept large sunbathing lawn for soaking up the sun. On the adjoining playground, you can have fun playing beach volleyball, soccer, table tennis, badminton and even ring games. And best of all: admission is free with the Genusscard!
All about the cheese
In a disused side arm of the old silver mine tunnel in Arzberg, which was originally intended to be adapted as a healing tunnel, a truly aromatic treat awaits gourmets: this is where the internationally award-winning Arzberger Stollenkäse matures.
Styrian apple region
The Apple Road in Styrian Apple Region takes you through Austria’s largest fruit-growing region. Enjoyment of the paradisiacal fruit awaits at every turn – at the gourmet inns and apple growers, who invite you to taste and buy their products, as well as in the House of Apples in Puch near Weiz. The interactive exhibition presents the world’s oldest cultivated fruit through the ages.

On four hooves to happiness at Töchterlehof
Whinnying and scurrying, children’s eyes are guaranteed to light up here. At the Töchterlehof farm near Anger, curious nostrils are stretched over the white-painted fences and the team on four hooves greet visitors in a friendly manner.
The stud farm has devoted itself entirely to mare’s milk production and has around 70 pedigree horses that can be visited in the outdoor stables. In the mare’s milk cinema, visitors can learn all about the origins of mare’s milk and then taste the particularly digestible milk. The largest wooden Trojan horse in the world, which can be climbed up the steps, is well worth seeing.
