Altausseer See

Reviewed By haraldw623 - Zagreb, Croatia

Go there, see it: very picturesque, with the Loser mountain peak and the Totes Gebirge looming large over the lake. A walk around the lake is a must, as is a swim in high summer to cool off. If you’re coming in August you might be lucky to be there for Berge in Flammen ( mountains in flames), when they light fires around the lake and on the peaks surrounding it, including bengal fires illuminate them. And in the end you’ll be treated to firework over the lake - gorgeous! Be sure not to pay the €15 for tickets to the event if you’re not going to go to the main area with music and food stalls - it’s much better viewing to watch it sitting on the beach somewhere around the lake.

Wilde Wasser

Reviewed By reisefranz - Lahti, Finland

when you chose like me to take the "Höll" option be prepared to climb countless steps (natural as well as man made steel ones) - with short legs quite a challenge. You are rewarded with beautiful views of the waterfall, the wild waters, a suspension bridge etc. After having mastered that track reward yourself with a Kaiserschmarrn at Gfölleralm and let the surroundings sink in. Continue to Riesachsee and walk along its shore - you won't regret it.

Don't let some of the negative reviews stop you from seeing this well-preserved middle-ages castle set in a unique location, at the top of a dormant volcano. This provided the castle with only 1 side to protect, the other three being sheer drop-offs! While the signage is in German, the castle and each of the two museums have well-written English handouts that clearly describe what you are seeing. The neighboring valley is beautiful with lots of vineyards and scattered villages. If traveling to Graz and/or the Styrian region of Austria, I think this is a worthwhile stop. We paid 16 euros each for the lift/funicular up and down and the admissions to the castle and museums and felt this was a fair asking price. We did not inquire about the falconry show. The view is so spectacular, plan on stopping in the tavern for ice cream, a beer, or some wine, and enjoy the vista.

Once upon the time around 1990 there was a master confectioner who thought that all the existing chocolate creations on the market are simply a little bit too boring. So after business hours he started to explore in the quietness of his company’s back room...

Schloss Eggenberg

The unique architecture of Schloss Eggenberg, the most important great house in Styria, is a complex symbolic representation of the universe. At the same time, with its impressive combination of Baroque interiors (magnificent state rooms), magical gardens and park, and priceless collections of the Universalmuseum Joanneum (Alte Galerie with its old masters paintings, Archaeology Museum and Coin Cabinet), Eggenberg contains a fascinatingly varied panorama of Styrian culture over the centuries. UNESCO World Heritage Site! Please note: dogs are not allowed in the park to protect our peacocks.

We really enjoyed the clock tower and surroundings on a sunny day. We have a small toddler; we took the lift to the top. Great view, green, quite surroundings. The coffee shop next to the clock tower is packed, many people enjoying their wine and beer. Highly recommended.

Nice shopping street. There are also restaurants and cafes. Really crowded, especially during Christmas time. But really worth a visit!
