Customs and tradition in Western Styria
Western Styria
|
| Western Styria is chiefly known as the home of Schilcher wine. In this hilly landscape with its mild climate, the blue Wildbacher grape grows especially well, as a trip along the Schilcher Wine Route will prove. The logo of the Wine Route shows a white horse – for a very good reason.
After all, Piber in Western Styria is the home of the Lipizzaner horses, the oldest horse breed in Europe. The horses grow up at the stud in the flower town of Köflach before being taken to the Spanish Riding school in Vienna.
