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.

Landeszeughaus

The world's largest preserved historical armoury displays some 32,000 objects from the 15th to 18th century.

Reviewed By Peaplant - Galway, Ireland

We came in winter when access is by guided tour only. Luckily we happened to be there just in time for one. It was fantastic. Photos can't do the armoury justice. There is so much to be said about being there amounts the pieces, the smells of oils used to clean them. Amazing. Our guide was fantastic and very patient as we all tried on select samples of chain mail and wielded some replica swords. A must for anyone visiting Graz.

A little known secret. But it’s a must go. Beautiful view and breathtaking. The sky ridge and the ice palace shouldn’t be missed. It can be a bit scary for the faint hearted. The top is a must see. The glacier is not visible from the base station.

Schladming planai ski resort is an excellent ski resort with new ski lifts, well groomed slopes, fantastic food to reasonable prices and very friendly atmosphere. Lot of different slopes, long blue but also never ending red ones. No 10 - no man's land is a favorite. Will come back as soon as it is possible for a 3rd time.

Red Bull Ring

Spielberg is not only a breathtaking region with beautiful coutryside - it's a genuine amusement park, with the legendary Red Bull Ring at its centre. The 4.318-kilometre circuit is categorized "Grade A" by the Federation Internationale de l'Automative (FIA), hosted the Austrian Grand Prix from 1996 to 2003 and can be split in to two separate tracks: north and south. Driving Experiences: Anything involving petrol, acceleration and adrenaline is possible at the Red Bull Ring. Decide for yourself whether you want to blast around the track in a sports car or on a motorcycle, put your off -road driving skills to the test, try to come closer to driving perfection with a training session at the Driving Center, have a motor sports legend let you in on some secrets of racing or experience lateral g-forces on the go-kart track.
