A city to live in

weiz

The Weiz region with its unique infrastructure and many destinations is well worth the trip: Shops, boutiques, restaurants and cafés in the town, the marvellous pilgrimage church on the Weizberg, the varied cultural programme at the Weizer Kunsthaus and fascinating natural attractions such as the flowstone caves and the Raabklamm.

The Almenland Nature Park and two other natural attractions are quasi right outside the door: The Grasslhöhle and the Katerloch. Austria’s oldest show cave is situated between Weiz and Arzberg, on the edge of the large Raabklamm. An impressive flowstone world reveals itself here. To give you an idea of the dimensions in the Katerloch, the so-called “Fantasiehalle” alone measures 120 by 85 metres.
