Advent
in Grazer Bergland
In the Grazer Bergland, the perfect atmosphere unfolds for the quietest and most contemplative time of the year – surrounded by traditional charm, enchanting displays of light, and exquisite culinary delights.
With the arrival of Advent in the Grazer Bergland, a truly special atmosphere fills the air. Frohnleiten enchants visitors with its romantically illuminated skyline and its festive Advent market on the main square, while at the Austrian Open-Air Museum in Stübing, time-honoured traditions are brought back to life.
Lumagica invites guests to step into a magical world that not only makes children’s hearts glow with joy, but also allows the worries of everyday life to fade away, if only for a while.
Frohnleitner Skyline
Magical Glow of Lights along the Mur
Especially during Advent, the skyline of Frohnleiten glows in a breathtaking and magical play of lights, while the Mur in the foreground creates spectacular reflections.
This illuminated silhouette has been enchanting visitors since 1991. To mark its 30th anniversary in 2021, the individual lights were replaced with sustainable and environmentally friendly LED technology.
Advent markets
Moments of reflection
They say anticipation is the greatest joy of all – and in Styria, we can truly confirm this from the bottom of our hearts. Those who spend the Advent season in the Grazer Bergland experience the magic of Christmas up close.
Beloved Advent markets, such as those on Frohnleiten’s main square or in Gratwein-Straßengel, attract countless visitors and delight them with a wonderfully festive programme.
Lumagica
Wrapped in a glow of light
A circular trail through a world of majestic figures and a wondrously illuminated natural setting, nestled within idyllic landscapes featuring two lakes, enchants visitors of all ages at the Murhof Golf Club. Warm drinks and a visit to the atmospheric Christmas village, offering Styrian delicacies, perfectly complete this magical experience.
Tannengras & Lebzeltstern
Traditional Advent
An event for the whole family: experience Advent the way it once was.
Leave the hustle and bustle of everyday life behind and enjoy the quietest time of the year while wandering through Austria’s historic farmsteads – whether by listening to enchanting Advent tales, crafting traditional straw stars, or lingering in the cosy rooms of old rural homes.
Nativity Scene Exhibition at Rein Abbey
The nativity exhibition at Rein Abbey presents a fascinating array of collectible pieces that invite visitors to pause, marvel, and reflect.
The Christmas nativity scene is a timeless symbol of hope and joy, with limitless possibilities of design and interpretation. For many, it is as much a part of the festive season as freshly baked cookies and the Christmas tree itself.
Another remarkable example that highlights this creative diversity is the ice nativity scene in the Styrian capital of Graz – a work of rare beauty, unique in its form, yet fleeting by nature.
