Very neat rose garden. A treat for the eyes and nose!

Wonderful all-round view over Southeast Styria!

There is always a festival on Trinity Sunday in front of the chapel in Glojach.

The hilltop on which the chapel stands is a very special place. If you take the time, you can feel how heaven and earth connect here and how this concentrated power radiates into the surroundings. The builders of the chapel probably knew this too, and in 1831 they built a chapel instead of a small bell tower to protect the area from "thunderstorms" and diseases. In the process, the ecclesiastical building permit, which was only subsequently granted, was even forgotten in the zeal. The chapel got its current form in 1872. The copper portal and the large fresco were created in 1961 by Franz Weiß, who also provided the designs for the colorful glass windows from Schlierbach.

Picturesquely enthroned there, on the hill in Schichenau, a district of St. Stefan im Rosental, the Schichenau chapel. The small sacred building, idyllically located between vineyards, is dedicated to the Mother of God. From here you have a wonderful view of St. Stefan.

The vinegar rose is a wild rose species found in St. Stefan im Rosental and has served as a coat of arms for the municipality since 1954. The five leaves are assigned the basic elements earth-plants-fire-air-water.

In the Middle Ages, St. Stefan im Rosental gained independence and thus parochial rights. The church was first mentioned in a document in 1269. The church was rebuilt in 1660, probably after a fire. It is 32 m long, 11.5 m wide and 9.5 m high. The tower was raised to 45m in 1794 and received its mighty onion dome.

The rosarium in St. Stefan im Rosental is a public park that impresses with its special floral splendor. The sea of flowers is located in the 10,000 m² amusement park in the center of the village and impresses with more than 500 rose bushes in about 100 different types of roses. Historic rose varieties can also be found here, as well as lovely wild roses and the typical English rose. Rare specimens such as the "Green Rose", a Rosa viridiflora, can also be discovered in the Rosarium.
