Seiersberg between the Diving Tower, Cycle Paths and Regional Culture

Seiersberg combines unusual experiences with regional culture and various opportunities for active days on holiday. Introductory diving at the Seiersberg Diving Tower includes the theoretical briefing, a dive in the indoor swimming pool or diving tower, complete diving equipment and professional supervision by a diving instructor. The diving tower is an indoor swimming pool with an 11-metre diving tower and diving school in Seiersberg near Graz. This means that a stay here does not necessarily have to begin with a classic excursion: a new experience in the water can also shape the day's plans.

Experiences for Different Days on Holiday

Those travelling with children will find more than 180 shops at ShoppingCity Seiersberg. The offerings also include restaurants and service businesses. Kinder-Löwenland is a supervised and staffed children's area. This means that, depending on your interests, a visit to ShoppingCity can be combined with shopping, a meal or a dedicated children's activity, without restricting the day to just one activity.

When there is sufficient snow, an approximately 250-metre-long ski slope with a drag lift is available in Gedersberg. Snow conditions are therefore an important part of the planning. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment or holiday house in Seiersberg can take this into account alongside the other excursion and activity ideas described independently of the season.

Gedersberg is suitable for walks and relaxing hikes. Several connections described in different ways are available for cycling and scooter rides. Cycle path SR 1 leads from Neuseiersberg via ShoppingCity to Mantscha, is 8.5 kilometres long and has an easy to moderate difficulty level. SR 2 is an easy 4.1-kilometre scooter route connecting Neuseiersberg, ShoppingCity, the municipal centre and the neighbouring municipality of Pirka. SR 3 forms a 1.1-kilometre connection from Graz to Pirka and runs along Mitterstraße. These details help you choose accommodation suited to your preferred means of transport and daily destinations, without confusing the routes with one another.

Culture, Tradition and Regional Specialties

Several listed monuments are part of Seiersberg's cultural landscape. The Viktor von Geramb Monument is a protected object, as is the wayside shrine of St John of Nepomuk at Gottingerweg 9 in the cadastral area of Seiersberg. The “Paar-Kreuz” field and wayside chapel, which is also a listed monument, is located in the immediate vicinity of Seiersberg. Anyone wishing to discover historic small monuments and regional townscapes during their stay can include these destinations in their personal excursion planning.

A special local tradition is the Florianifest. The traditional festival takes place on the mountain of the same name between Straßgang and Seiersberg-Pirka. At the Florianifest, “Floriani beer”, bottled especially for the festival, is served by the brewhouse, the staff restaurant of Anton Paar GmbH. In addition, the private association “Golden Legends Brewery Club” has been brewing various types of beer in a small manufactory in Gedersberg since 2019 and serving them at the Florianifest. At Grillcenter Graz, cooking enthusiasts can expand their knowledge and learn new techniques. The culinary spectrum therefore ranges from a festival tradition to practical engagement with cooking.

Seiersberg as a Starting Point for Your Planning

The choice of a holiday apartment in Seiersberg can be guided by which of these facets you want to shape your stay: a visit to the diving tower, a ride on SR 1, an easy scooter route, walks on Gedersberg, shopping or cultural discoveries. The Florianifest and the offerings at Grillcenter also each add their own distinctive elements.

For further impressions in the surrounding area, you can then also discover Hönigtal, Deutschfeistritz, Hausmannstätten, Neudorf, Sankt Marein Bei Graz, Taschen, Thondorf and Mantscha.
