Culture and history in Steirisch Laßnitz

A special cultural landmark is the parish church of “St. Nicholas” in Steirisch Laßnitz. It is dedicated to Saint Nicholas and was first mentioned in an official document in 1395 as “St. Nikolaus in der Lesnik”. The history of the site’s construction goes back even further: a Romanesque round church was built there in the 12th century. Its foundations were uncovered during excavations.

Remains of frescoes from this Romanesque round church have been preserved in the chancel. They depict Christ enthroned, as well as figures of saints and animals. For travellers interested in sacred art, regional history and unusual details, this creates a distinct cultural focus alongside the sporting activities. The Laßnitz folk plays add a vibrant tradition to this picture. They are performed in Steirisch Laßnitz at irregular intervals of several years. Anyone wishing to include this experience in their plans should take the relevant performance period into account when deciding on their trip.

Cross-country skiing through forests, fields and floodlighting

In winter, the Weirerteich cross-country skiing centre is the main attraction. The Laßnitz valley trail leads from the entrance to the cross-country skiing centre towards Laßnitz and runs partly through forests and across fields. It offers an easy and a difficult variant. For a group with different levels of cross-country skiing experience, this distinction is helpful when planning the day, as you can choose the desired route variant according to your own ability.

When there is sufficient natural snow, the Laßnitz valley trail is groomed for both classic cross-country skiing and skating. At the Weirerteich cross-country skiing centre, the Weirerteich trail bears the Styrian Cross-Country Trail Quality Seal. Biathlon stands with three laser rifles are also available there. At night, cross-country skiing is possible under floodlights on two kilometres of the Weirerteich trail. The trails at the cross-country skiing centre are freshly groomed every day.

Practical information for your stay

Sport Maier offers cross-country skiing equipment rental directly at the trail entrance of the Weirerteich cross-country skiing centre. In cooperation with the Grebenzen ski school, cross-country skiing courses are also offered there. This may play a role when choosing your accommodation if you do not want to bring your own equipment or would like to learn cross-country skiing under instruction. Choosing a holiday apartment in Laßnitz bei Murau can therefore be based on a clear focus: culture and local history, cross-country skiing or a combination of both.

As another option for spending time outdoors, the Lassnitz leisure pond offers opportunities for swimming and bathing. You can also fish there without a fishing licence. However, caught fish may not be released back into the water. This rule should be part of your planning if you would like to combine fishing with a stay by the water. In the centre of Laßnitz bei Murau, there is also “Der Freizeitwirt”, a rustic wooden house.
