Weiz

Weiz is a municipality with administrative rights in eastern Styria, Austria. It sits among green hills and farmland where apple orchards and livestock farming shape the landscape.

St. Thomas Church has stood in the town center since 1188 with its Romanesque style. This early structure marks the settling and religious development of the region in medieval times.

The Weizer Mulbratl Festival celebrates a local specialty of cold-smoked pork loin sliced thin and marinated in vinegar, held each August. Residents prepare traditional dishes and share their knowledge of this regional food heritage with visitors.

The municipality is easily reached by public transportation with parking available at the town center. Visitors should bring warm clothing since the elevation gets cold in autumn and winter.

The Grasslhöhle between Weiz and Arzberg was Austria's first publicly accessible cave and can be visited by guests. The cave impresses with its large chamber and interesting limestone formations.
