Excursion destinations in Styria

Marvel at the Ice Palace up on the Dachstein and enjoy magnificent scenic views of the Niedere and Hohe Tauern mountain ranges all the way to the Großglockner. Take a relaxing dip in one of the nine thermal spas and feel the healing effects of the thermal water.

Visit the culinary manufactories of Zotter, Gölles and others, and go on a tour along the Styrian Wine Roads in the south and east of Styria. Be inspired by the cultural programme of the Graz Opera or the history of the Castle Road.

The most popular excursion destinations in Styria

Not knowing what to do really is not a thing in Styria. Fast cars at the Red Bull Ring or amazing plays of colour at the Green Lake in summer - graceful animals at the Lipizzaner Stud Piber or cultural impressions in the palace garden of Eggenberg Castle, the choices are endless. Below are the most popular excursion destinations in the Green Heart of Austria.
