Strolls and hikes

HIKING NEAR THE CITY

Graz Castle Hill with its clock tower is not only a landmark of the historic old town, but also a symbol of Graz as a walkable city with its green hills and many walking and hiking trails.

Locals and guests alike are often surprised at how many beautiful hiking trails there are in the city area of Graz. In addition to the Schloßberg (474 m) and the Reinerkogel (500 m) in the middle of the city, the most important elevations are the Buchkogel (600 m), the Plabutsch with the highest point in Graz, the Fürstenstand (763 m), the forests around the Gösting ruins, the Platte with the historic Stefaniewarte (651 m) and the popular chains of hills in the east of the city from Mariatrost to Lustbühel. Beautiful walking and hiking trails, small side roads or hidden paths and trails lead to all of these green hills and hills - and there is even a water-bearing gorge, the Rettenbachklamm.
