From Schlossberg to Alm – Countryside holidays around Graz
Between the UNESCO-listed Old Town of Graz and the rolling hills of Styria, you'll find authentic farms around the state capital for the perfect mix of city and country. Here, you'll wake up with views of rolling hills, help with milking, and explore a region where cultural highlights meet traditional rural life—ideal for families and city explorers.
Graz and surroundings: Where cultural city meets farm idyll
The region around Graz combines the best of both worlds: While the Styrian capital beckons with its UNESCO-listed Old Town, Schlossberg, and Murinsel (Murinsel Island), the surrounding farms offer pure relaxation amidst vineyards and orchards. Here, peaceful Murboden cattle and Mangalitza pigs graze on lush pastures, while hosts indulge guests with Styrian delicacies such as pumpkin seed oil, Schilcher wine, and homemade Verhackerten (minced pork). The rolling hills of southern and western Styria make every walk a pleasure, and the short distance to Graz allows for spontaneous cultural excursions to the Kunsthaus (Museum of Art) or the Botanical Garden.
