Styria: The Green Heart of Austria

Styria, often called the Green Heart of Austria, is a region of incredible variety.

In the north you’ll find high mountains that are perfect for hiking in summer and skiing in winter.

The south, on the other hand, is full of gentle hills, vineyards, thermal spas, and the famous pumpkin seed oil that’s a staple of Styrian cuisine.

The capital of Styria, Graz, is a lively student city and Austria’s second-largest city.

Styria is my home, it’s where I grew up and lived for most of my life, so it’ll always have a special place in my heart. It’s a place where nature, culture, and good food come together in the best way.
