Tips from the Community
A main square of the prettier kind. Have been here several times. In addition to the sights, some gastronomic establishments also invite you to stop by. Especially worth a visit in summer, because of the floral decorations.

A beautiful church with a small, shady park next to it. You will also find some sculptures here, as well as the war memorial. We liked it here.

A really nice, lively place. Lots of floral decorations, fountains, church, town hall, monuments, statues... and some places to eat. Worth stopping by.

Here you cycle directly along the Lafnitz. The banks are densely overgrown, so you don't always have a view of the river. However, there is a bridge at this point from which you can get a good view of the riverbed with its incredibly clear water.
