Lipizzan Stud Farm Piber
International start
The Lipizzaner stud farm in Piber is not only the birthplace of the world-famous Lipizzaners, but also a place that is deeply embedded in the culture and tradition of the region. On a guided tour, you can learn fascinating facts about the breeding and rearing of these noble animals. For the adventurous, the climbing park with its seven courses and 60 stations, including a flying fox, offers pure fun.
St. Barbara church - Hundertwasser
Colourful art
Bärnbach, once known for coal mining and glass production, is now famous for St Barbara's Church, designed by Friedensreich Hundertwasser. This church, a true total work of art, and the Moses Fountain created by Ernst Fuchs are living testimony to the creative transformation of the town. The Bärnbach Glass Museum complements this cultural journey with insights into the history and development of glass art.
Pilgrimage church Maria Lankowitz
Important Marian pilgrimage site
The Maria Lankowitz pilgrimage church, a holy place of silent power, is the second most important Marian pilgrimage site in Styria after Mariazell. Pilgrims are drawn here every year on a traditional foot pilgrimage over the Stubalpe. Embedded in a legend that dates back to 1433, the arrival of the statue of the Virgin Mary in Maria Lankowitz harbours a special story that never ceases to fascinate visitors.
