great castle

Always good for a rest.

the last few meters up to the lookout point...the efforts are rewarded with a beautiful panorama

a great observation tower on the Kleeberg; from here you have a great view

The observation tower on Kleeberg has over 140 steps, which stands out due to its striking shape and architecture (and somehow doesn't fit into the landscape at all). There is a turnstile in front of the first steps. In my case it was open in winter (despite a thin layer of snow on the steps and platforms). Surface made of tear-plate (wasn't slippery today), on some platforms there are glass walls that provide a bit of protection from the wind. On a clear day you can see from Geschreibenstein in Burgenland to Slovenia and also many Styrian and Carinthian mountains.

Very nice castle with a kindergarten in it.

The Lustbühel is a 489 meter high hill in the east of Graz. It is best known for the early baroque pleasure palace of the same name. A pleasure palace is a palace that was not built for the purpose of public administration but for private retreat, hunting and pleasure. Today, among other things, there is a kindergarten in the castle. Part of the palace complex was leased. There is a so-called show farm, a petting zoo and a children's playground. The site has been managed by the city of Graz since December 1, 2022. In the future, future expansions should make it possible for the people of Graz to use the area even better as a local recreation area

As the name of this 17th-century castle suggests, it was once a pleasure palace. This means that the aristocratic owner withdrew here to pursue leisure interests such as hunting. And the castle is still in excellent condition today. On the property you will also find a small cider tavern, which is ideal for a rest after a walk in this area.
