Other goals
The Herberstein Castle Nature Park is particularly recommended for families (http://www.herberstein.co.at) as well as the nearby Stubenbergsee.
A special point in Eastern Styria is the Riegersburg Castle, which can be seen from afar, with a new type of lift.
background
For decades, the region was rather neglected by international tourism as there were no attractions (such as high peaks). In the meantime, with "wellness tourism", the thermal region of the area in particular has developed into a tourist magnet.
language
getting there

By train to Gleisdorf, then with regional buses.

Of Vienna via the A 2 (Südautobahn). Of Salzburg Via the A 1 (Westautobahn) to the Voralpenkreuz junction and then via the A 9 (Pyhrnautobahn) to Graz. Continue on the B 73 or to the Gleisdorf junction on the A 2 and on the B 68.
