On the occasion of the patronal feast found here – the popular pilgrimage church in the Graz area is dedicated to "The Nativity of Mary" – I would like to offer those staying here a short reflection by Saint John of Damascus (born 675/676, died before 754): "The day of the birth of the Mother of God is a day of universal joy, for through the Mother of God the entire human race was renewed and the suffering of the first mother, Eve, was transformed into joy."

Very beautifully situated baroque pilgrimage church, whose facade is beautifully illuminated especially in the evening light.

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.
