Energie Steiermark is positioning itself as a renewable electricity supplier and is investing around 58 million euros in a large-scale wind farm project in the Deutschlandsberg district. On the Handalm on the border with Carinthia, 13 wind turbines were built at an altitude of around 1,800 meters. Its rotors have a diameter of 82 meters and have been supplying green electricity for more than 21,000 households since October 2017. The total output is 39 MW, 76 gigawatt hours of green electricity are generated annually. This makes this project larger than any previous wind farm in southern Austria. When designing the wind farm, whose rotor blades have a diameter of 82 meters, special emphasis was placed on sensitive handling of the ecological environment: a total of 150 individual editions ensure special protection from wild animals, birds, bats and the surrounding alpine pastures and forest areas.

Located between Carinthia and Styria, there are countless hiking trails available. You can hike up to 2141m above sea level in the Koralpen massif.

If you want to enrich your vacation with sightseeing, excursions or shopping trips, there are many destinations available on the Carinthian and Styrian sides. A recreation area for young and old where you can enjoy a wonderful time of relaxation.

According to legend, the special rocks on the Handalm were said to be petrified because they did not rest on Sundays.

The Handalm wind farm with its numerous wind turbines is located on the ridge of the Moserkogel. From here you have a beautiful view of the wine plain and the surrounding landscape.
