Thalersee

Thal

An idyll right at the gates of the city! Not only peope of Graz love the Thalersee as an excursion destination for the whole family. Everyone will have fun there!

The walk around the lake is leisurely, with no climbs and easy to walk even for grandma and grandpa and not very strenuous. If you want more, follow the signposted 9-kilometer circular trail in the footsteps of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Sporty ones come by bike - the "R 39-Thaler Radweg" leads from Graz Gösting directly here. A trip out on the lake in a rowing boat or pedal boat - perhaps with the swan - is real fun for young and old. But some people also come here just to relax and make themselves comfortable on the large sunbathing lawn on the western shore of the lake (don't forget a blanket). In the casual, newly built Waldcafé - with a beautiful large terrace directly on the water - you can really enjoy the wonderful view with all kinds of fine specialties, cool drinks and of course coffee, cake and ice cream.

Feelings of happiness arise at any time of the year. It is a very special place, otherwise Arnie, the most famous son of the village, would probably not have proposed to his Maria right here, in a rowing boat on the Thalersee.
