Camping in wooded Styria means a holiday in the green heart of Austria. Between the majestic Dachstein in the north and the wine country in the south, characterised by almost Mediterranean charm, there is a variety of landscapes that can best be discovered by climbing, hiking and mountain biking. The Styrian cuisine is a real revelation. In addition, nine thermal spas provide soothing relaxation, while exciting museums, time-honoured castles and renowned cultural festivals stimulate the senses.
The 30 or so campsites in Styria are characterised by their location in the heart of nature. Some are also open in winter. With between 15 and 200 pitches, they offer plenty of comfort as well as interesting sports and leisure facilities. The campsite in Wildalpen, for example, located directly on the Salza mountain river, is perfect for lovers of canoeing and rafting tours, while those who like can literally pitch their tents surrounded by meadows and forests at the campsite in the Gesäuse National Park, book a motorhome pitch in the East Styrian volcanic region or camp in a rustic 19th century-style holiday park. Some campsites, such as in Mühlen or in Ramsau am Dachstein, are geared towards families with children. In Weißkirchen, on the other hand, there is a site for campers aged 50 and over.
Travelling to Styria by caravan or motorhome is easy from all directions. The A9 Phyrn motorway, which runs from the Voralpenkreuz junction not far from the Upper Austrian market town of Sattledt via the Styrian capital of Graz to Spielfeld in southern Styria, is an important north-south axis in Austria. For a stopover on the Austrian A9 motorway, we recommend the Landzeit service area near Kammern im Liesingtal. From the west, take the A8 motorway from Germany past Munich and Salzburg onto the Austrian A1 westbound motorway to the Voralpenkreuz junction. To get to this junction, travellers from the north use the A7 and A3 to Nuremberg or Passau as well as the A8. From Berlin, take the A9 via Leipzig to Nuremberg and continue to your destination. Please note that tolls are charged on Austria's motorways and motorways. For cars and light motorhomes, the toll is paid via a vignette, whereby a distinction is made between an adhesive vignette and a digital vignette.
Styria is characterised by nine different regions, including the Mur Valley with the varied Mur Cycle Path, the volcanic region in the south-east with its healing springs and Hochsteiermark, which impresses with its gentle alpine landscapes and dark green forests.
In the north of Styria, the wild waters of the Enns and Salza rivers meet imposing rock faces. Here you can indulge your passion for canyoning past rich vegetation and steep gorges, watch chamois and marmots on a hike to the Sulzkaralm or listen to rousing world music at the St. Gallen Festival. Places worth discovering are Admont and Landl, which is located in both the Styrian Eisenwurzen Nature Park and the Gesäuse National Park and is home to the Silvanum Forestry Museum.
Austria's second largest city epitomises the interplay of contrasts between tradition and modernity. The historic city centre with its magnificent facades, beautiful courtyards and narrow alleyways has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999. A lively creative scene and spectacular newer buildings such as the jellyfish-like Kunsthaus, also known as the Friendly Alien, and the Murinsel have earned Graz the City of Design award. Graz is also the country's capital of enjoyment.
Styria is perfect for active recreation in the great outdoors. After an extended hike or castle tour, holidaymakers can relax wonderfully in one of the province's thermal spas, for example in Bad Radkersburg or Fohnsdorf.
If you don't want to conquer the long-distance hiking trail From Glacier to Wine, which leads from the Dachstein to the Southern Styria Nature Park in 25 day stages, you will also find happiness on shorter hiking challenges. Tours lead to such natural phenomena as the sparkling Katerloch stalactite cave, the thousand-year-old oak tree in Bad Blumau or the legendary Devil's Stone in the Fischbach Alps.
The castles and palaces of Styria exude a unique magic. Riegersburg Castle, once considered impregnable, attracts visitors with its 30 state rooms. In the magnificent park surrounding the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Schloss Eggenberg in Graz, proud peacocks can be marvelled at. If you like, you can picnic in the wild and romantic vineyard of Kapfenstein Castle in Vulkanland or immerse yourself in the natural and cultural history of the Enns Valley at Trautfels Castle at the foot of the Grimming.
It's easy to get into the party mood on a camping holiday in Styria. A variety of events - from the Mid EUROPE brass music festival to wine festivals and the Aufsteirern festival in traditional costume - bear witness to a multifaceted cultural landscape. This also includes the following events:
Styria is known as Austria's delicatessen. In the north of the province, alpine ox meat, game from local forests and specialities such as freshly caught Ausseer char with parsley potatoes are a popular dish. Further south, brown speckled scarlet runner beans and the famous Styrian apples thrive, which are sometimes sweet, sometimes delicately sour and simply delicious, but also taste great as strudel, jam or schnapps. The undisputed star of Styrian cuisine, however, is pumpkin seed oil, which is thick and has an intense nutty flavour and is often referred to as green gold and as such enhances salads, egg dishes or even vanilla ice cream.
Styria is an attractive holiday destination all year round. The Austrian province is characterised by a European transitional climate. While the north and north-west are alpine, harsh and fresh, the gentle hilly landscape in the south and south-east is mild due to Pannonian influences. Hiking through the high mountains of Styria is best done between June and September, when the last remnants of snow have melted and the average maximum temperature is around 20 degrees Celsius. The colourful autumn, on the other hand, is mainly harvest time. This is when the grapes are harvested in the south, while in the north, traditional cattle drives are a spectacle worth experiencing. Winter campers will find perfectly groomed pistes and cross-country ski trails from as early as November.
