Discover Kalsdorf Bei Graz

Kalsdorf Bei Graz combines active experiences, Styrian culinary culture and fascinating insights into the history of the town. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment for a varied stay can choose their focus from activities, water, culture and regional specialities.

Active pursuits between the climbing wall, Mur floodplains and water

For sporty days, the outdoor climbing wall in Kalsdorf offers 17 routes with 15 anchors. On Wednesdays from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., it is open to the public without prior registration. This makes it easy to fit a climbing session into your daily plans. Those who prefer to explore on two wheels will find another way to experience Kalsdorf on the Murradweg R2 cycle path: The route leads through the idyllic Mur floodplains and offers the chance to enjoy nature on two wheels.

A longer route is also part of the local range of leisure activities. The Kalsdorf running and Nordic walking route is 10.4 km long in total and features directional signs and kilometre markers. The Kalsdorf Genuss Tour, by contrast, is designed as an easy and leisurely circular route. The start and finish are in St. Anna Park in the heart of the market town. Depending on the day of your trip, you can therefore choose between climbing, cycling, running, Nordic walking and a leisurely tour focused on culinary enjoyment.

The Copacabana in Kalsdorf offers a different kind of experience. It has well-maintained beaches for sunbathing and swimming. In addition, the diving centre at Copacabana offers its customers the opportunity to go diving. This means you can include water-based activities in your travel plans alongside routes through the Mur floodplains.

Experience culture and history mindfully

The history of the town goes back a long way. The earliest archaeological evidence of human settlement in the area of today’s market town of Kalsdorf dates from the Urnfield period, approximately between 1250/1200 and 750/700 BC. A much more recent cultural landmark is the new parish church of “St. Paul in Kalsdorf”, which was ceremonially consecrated on 4 July 1965.

The Kulturkeller Kalsdorf is ideal for an evening of culture. Various events take place in a historic vaulted cellar, with a programme ranging from jazz and pop to cabaret and readings. If you do not want to fill your trip exclusively with sports and excursions, you can add a cultural event to your itinerary here.

Styrian specialities and insights into their production

Kalsdorf’s regional cuisine can also be discovered through its products and production methods. At Haindl Mühle, flour has been milled and award-winning pumpkin seed oil pressed since 1925. By prior arrangement, the mill offers guided tours as a “pumpkin culinary” voyage of discovery. From September to May, it also runs weekly bread-baking and Sterz cooking courses.

Another place to find regional specialities is Berghofer Farmery. It has been producing “Styrian Genuss Knabberkerne” in Kalsdorf for more than 30 years. Since May 2020, visitors have been able to watch the production of these Genuss Knabberkerne live in an accessible production area. Farmery experts guide visitors through the area and provide background information on the refinement of Styrian pumpkin seeds. Such offerings give your stay a tangible connection to regional products without having to dedicate the entire day to a single theme.
