Lois Steiner Weg
The area of St. Lambrecht, St. Blase, Lassnitz, Murau and Ranten is very important in the area of folk culture: throughout Styria we are one of the regions that is home to an incredibly large treasure trove of songs that have been passed down through generations. Thanks to one man, Lois Steiner, this treasure trove of songs was preserved. He recorded around a thousand songs, one of his most famous and often sung is the Christmas carol “O Jubel, o Freud”.
