CULTURE, SPORTS & CUISINE IN OUR REGION

CULTURE

The region surrounding the “Landhaus am Bach” offers numerous cultural highlights. The Rein Abbey, the Pilgrimage Church of Maria Straßengel, the scythe factory in Deutschfeistritz, and the open-air museum Stübing are all treasures located in the vicinity. Offering almost endless possibilities, the provincial capital Graz is only 20 minutes away.

CAPITAL CITY GRAZ

GRAZ STANDS FOR CULTURE, DESIGN, CULINARY DELIGHTS AND LIFESTYLE

Only 20 minutes from the lodge, the “City of Culinary Delights” Graz offers a variety of art treasures. Its historical heritage has been deemed so valuable that Graz has made it onto the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The city’s architecture portrays a unique mix of southern flair, Gothic style, Renaissance, Baroque and modern architecture. Moreover, outside the gates of the city you can experience many paradisiacal destinations, athletic challenges and culinary delights.

OPEN-AIR MUSEUM STÜBING

In just a few hours’ time, you can walk through the whole of Austria, from Burgenland to Vorarlberg, while experiencing the idyllic surroundings, the unique architecture and way of life, as well as learn more about typical regional tools of bygone days—all possible in the Open-Air Museum Stübing. Experience a world of rural life and work in a side valley of the Mur in about one hundred original rural buildings spanning 6 centuries.

SCYTHE FORGE MUSEUM

Today, the large factory serves as a museum. The rooms around the impressive production plant with its huge water wheels are also an atmospheric and popular setting for theater performances, concerts and art exhibitions. For example, the musical “Walpurgis Night” and the “Indian Summer Market” take place here.

CISTERCIAN MONASTERY "STIFT REIN"

About 20km from the city, the baroque Rein Abbey picturesquely stands out against the surrounding green hills. Cistercian monks have lived here continuously since 1129, making it the oldest Cistercian monastery in the world that is still active. The baroque abbey church radiates sublime beauty, its library contains medieval manuscripts from the monastery’s own writing room, and the extensive surrounding woods invite you to a leisurely stroll or adventurous hike.
