As many as six Small Historic Towns are located in Styria, four of them can be explored along this tour. The route starts in Judenburg, a medieval town situated amidst beautiful Swiss stone pine woodland, in the winter a relaxed family ski resort, then continues to Leoben. A varied history between monastic splendour and steel town bustle characterises the city. Furthermore it is home of Gösser beer and attracts many young people thanks to the University. The Styrian hilly landscape characterises the route further on to our next destination, Bruck an der Mur. Surrounded by impressive mountains, the town harmoniously unites the mountains of Styria with urban life. Salt trade once made the town rich as attested to by its many beautiful historic buildings so characteristic of its townscape. The trip continues on via Frohnleiten and Gleisdorf all the way to Fürstenfeld, a major spa capital that fascinates with its defensive wall system as well as the Pfeilburg Castle with numerous fountains to cool off in.
