Southern Styria
Vineyards, wine routes and wine taverns
Enjoy a glass of wine, a fried chicken salad with pumpkin seed oil and a view of the hilly landscape: This is how the region is known among foodies. Vineyards alternate with forests, orchards and meadows.
Austria shows its romantic and enjoyable side in southern Styria through an enchanting interplay of natural and cultural landscapes, with the region's highlight being the South Styrian Wine Route. Nature reserves, vineyards and wine taverns line up one after the other here.
One of the most beautiful viewing points in Southern Styria is located in Kitzeck im Sausal, the highest wine-growing region in Austria at 564 meters.

"Protection through use"
The most important cultural landscapes include mixed forests, fields, flower meadows, orchards and, of course, vineyards. As diverse as these habitats are, they have one thing in common: They get lots of warmth and light due to the nature park's southern location.
As a result, the 15 nature park communities cover almost 400 km² and are home to Styria's most sun-loving animal and plant species.
