Much of Styria is relatively unknown to foreign tourists. That is why, several charming mysteries are being incorporated within the said area. Styria is a region of mountains, of valleys, rushing streams, lush green meadows, forests and of course – castles.
Its North is a typical Alpine, with rugged peaks and glorious mountain flowers. Its South, on the other hand, offers soft climate and gentle outlines of the rather lower mountain ranges of Graz.
Another magnificent site to see is the Eggenberg Castle, which stands majestically in a fine park on the city’s fringe. Its murals and resplendent baroque rooms are main tourist favourite.
