As early as 1999, a "Koren Room" was established in the bell tower of the Old Church in memory of the honorary citizen. The location was not chosen by chance – Hanns Koren saved the already partially derelict 14th-century structure from collapse. From 2023 to 2025, the church – now owned by the municipality – underwent extensive renovations, and the small museum was subsequently redesigned. The "Hanns Koren Memorial Room" is a tribute to one of the most influential figures in the Graz region. Within the walls of the Old Church, visitors will find an intimate exhibition in the bell tower, which, through personal belongings and insightful texts, offers a profound glimpse into the life and achievements of Hanns Koren. As a politician, folklorist, and enthusiastic patron of the arts, Koren left a significant legacy. Visitors have the unique opportunity to borrow the key from the municipal office during office hours and explore this special collection. From April to October, the memorial also opens its doors for Sunday visits, increasing accessibility for those interested. The memorial is not only a place of remembrance, but also a living testament to the cultural diversity and history of Styria. Opening hours: April 1, 2026 - October 31, 2026, Monday - Sunday, all day

Feelings of happiness arise there at any time of year. It is a very special spot on earth, a true natural idyll, otherwise Arnie, the most famous son of the place - who grew up nearby and whose birthplace now shows his career as a museum - would probably not have proposed marriage to his then fiancée Maria Shriver right here, in a rowing boat on the Thalersee. Even though that was a while ago, the original boat on the shore of the Thalersee still bears witness to it today.

In the casual, newly built Cafe Thaler See Garten - with a beautiful large terrace right on the water - you can really enjoy the wonderful view with all kinds of fine specialties, cool drinks and of course coffee, cake and ice cream. Not only walkers and day-trippers like to stop off at the modern Waldcafé Thalersee, it also offers ideal conditions for events, seminars and celebrations on the lake.

Always good for a rest.
