Family holiday in Eastern Styria

A holiday in Eastern Styria is an experience in Austria’s garden. How did Eastern Styria get that name? Simple: The farmers work Eastern Styria’s landscapes as a vast garden. Fresh harvests are processed right on the farm. The recipes are closely guarded secrets, often passed down through generations.

When you spend the night at one of over 130 accommodations – from a farm holiday to an inn or hotel – in Eastern Styria, you receive the free GenussCard. With this vacation card you get free entry to the coolest and most exciting excursion destinations and activities with the family. Enjoy your vacation time together with children at the ultimate price-performance ratio. It pays off.

Eastern Styria is a leisure paradise. A brief overview: From the river bath to the alpacas, from climbing in the alpine adventure park to chocolate tasting. Pure action on the scooter and mountain cart track. Dive into the cool water in between, exciting swimming pools and bathing lakes surrounded by greenery are a delight for the whole family. The wide range of adventures, experiences and excursions for the family makes a vacation with children unforgettable. What remains are shared experiences that will stay with you for a lifetime.
