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.

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.

We just wanted to find a nice place to visit shortly before leaving the area. This lake is surrounded by the mountains and have such a nice climate that the temperature was a bit higher than in the cities. The walk around the lake is about 45 min. There are banches to sit, tables for picnic and mountainbike and bike roads arond as well. Don’t miss if you are near.

If in Graz this is a must, weather it is day or night it is well worth the effort of a walk to the top, the history is fascinating and the views over the city amazing.

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.

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.

There were many tourists and restaurants nearby in that beautiful and historical place. Since I was not very hungry when I arrived, I chose a snack bar to had a hot dog. Several of its regular customers were drinking beer at Stand 12. When I was trying to have an order at that booth, the enthusiastic customers helped call the boss/staff. The people in that booth greeted the guests cheerfully and enthusiastically, and they ate, drank, talked and cheered with them. Although I was not drinking beer, I was infected. Then, they began to talk to me and we had quite some laughters. That was a very good lunch, not only because of the delicious hot dog, but also because of the wonderful and memorable "only here only now" experience!
