Depending on which side you come from, the fantastic view of St. Anna is harder or easier to earn.

The community has produced great sons, especially priests and musicians. Three of them became bishops, one of them (Franz Lackner is Archbishop of Salzburg). Worth mentioning is the regional wine shop, where you can taste and buy the best wines of Styria.
