Hiking in the Eastern Styria
Hiking the alpine pastures and meadows of the Eastern Styria is good for the body and soul, but an unhurried city stroll also has its appeal. No matter where you go in the region, every hike is pure enjoyment. The cabins, inns and wine taverns invite you to stop and refresh yourself along the hiking trail.

Top 15 hiking trails
Here you will find our most beautiful and best-known hiking tours in Eastern Styria.
Hiking on the water
Hiking along bubbling brooks and rippling rivers is especially appealing since you have a constant, cooling companion along the road. Quickly getting your feet wet or having a long drink of spring water – our water hiking trails are great for families, especially in midsummer.
Family and themed trails
Hiking and getting to know the country with its people, flora and fauna is truly enriching. The appeal of themed trails lies in the playful, entertaining acquisition of knowledge – an experience that’s not only good for children!
Accessible trails
These trails are great for families with prams or buggies and guests with limited mobility to enjoy the hiking experience. These trails follow roadways or board walks.
Meditative trails
Our meditative trails are perfect for anyone who wants to get a little more out of hiking. Rather than scaling the peaks, the focus here is on a serene, contemplative hike with stations featuring texts that provide food for thought.
Hiking with dogs
Dogs on a leash are very welcome in Austria’s garden. Hiking trails where dogs will not encounter grazing animals are also provided over the farmed alpine pastures.
LONG-DISTANCE HIKING & STAGE TRAILS
Spending several days on foot and getting to know the region in this way is becoming increasingly popular, regardless of whether you are traveling on different stages across Eastern Styria or whether you are making the journey to the neighboring country.
With the Alpannonia long-distance hiking trail, a hiking trail certified with the Austrian Hiking Seal of Quality also starts in the region.
Nordic Walking
Nordic Walking with Professor Werner Riedl has been available in the Pöllauer Tal Nature Park for many years. The expert guides sports enthusiasts of all ages through the beauty of Eastern Styria and thus awakens the fun of exercise.
Whether together or just with nature as your proud companion - getting fit in Austria's garden is really easy.
