Recently during a guided tour we stopped for an hour to see the library at the Abbey at Admont, it was worth every single minute and we would have loved to spend more time there. The building itself is stunning and the selection of books on display (no touching please) out of this world. As other travellers have remarked, the Google of its' day with books on all subjects, not just religion. Beautiful, they have some interesting exhibitions in adjacent rooms too. And for fresh air you can walk around a bit on the grounds of the abbey if time permits. Go see it for yourself if possible

The ruins of the Gösting Castle rise up where the Mur River Valley opens up into Graz. Built in this strategic position between the 11th and the 15th centuries, the castle could control all traffic into Graz. In 1925, the Castle Society was founded to attempt to prevent further destruction after years of neglect and fires during the 18th and 19th centuries. Rising 200 meters over the Mur River, Gösting Ruins offers great views over Graz.
