Hiking in Eastern Styria

OUR Alpine PASTURES & PEAKS

Across the alpine pasture up to the summit cross, the view here has a very special charm. A short break to discover and marvel, and a good snack to pamper your palate.

The landscape character of the Grazer Bergland is largely a gently shaped low mountain range with occasional high mountain forms, such as in the area of the highest peak, the Hochlantsch (1,720 m). The Almenland Nature Park is part of this natural area and presents a variety of hiking opportunities, from leisurely alpine paths to attractive mountain hikes. The region around Weiz offers the last foothills of this mountainous region, with several tours to the beautiful peaks in Eastern Styria starting here too.

Eastern Styria is a real hiking paradise where you can discover places with views, refreshments and uniqueness. See for yourself and find out more at our local offices.
