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.

In the middle of the Altstadt yu can find this beautiful square. If you go there during the winter, you can even find some remaining parts of Christmas Market.

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.

You really cannot miss the view from the top of the building. You can admire the old clock and the old city center for free! Add a glass of Gluhwein and you have a lovely time.

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.
