Gesäuse

Sights

When your head is really clear from hiking and the wild water, you can fill it again with knowledge and culture - the numerous museums of Admont Abbey are ideal, but also the festival in St. Gallen or the Castle Strechau in Lassing are real cultural jewels.

UNBEATABLE STUNNING

If Strechau Castle were a knight, it would sit at the round table right next to the king. The second largest castle in Styria is both a feast for the eyes and a highly interesting object to walk around. In addition to a breathtaking view, a beautiful castle chapel and a large wine cellar, there is also Europe's most complete classic car collection of the Styer brand to marvel at. Yes, these polishes are also part of Austria's history.
