Scenic cruise: The Styrian Route

The excursion trip "A Steirische Roas" takes place on  July 5th to St. Bartholomä. The kickoff fits well with this day: Before continuing, a visit to the Jakobuskirche in Thal is on the program. The church is known for its colorful, imaginative design. It looks different from many churches in the country and therefore stays easily in mind.

Afterwards, it continues to St. Bartholomä. There, on this day, people will be “celebrating Bartholomä”. This refers to a festival that doesn’t need to be loud to feel lively. The Steirische Roas combines a cultural hike with music, dance, customs, dialect poetry, and craftsmanship. In between, Styrian delicacies await. Exactly such things make an excursion in the Graz Region special: short distances, familiar landscapes, and places where much is still made by hand.

For those who prefer to travel slowly, there are many small stations here. A harmonica sounds across the square. There, a craftsman shows how much patience is involved in his work. A few steps further, people are dancing or reading in dialect. Everything feels accessible and down-to-earth
