Fuchsriegel

Fuchsriegel is a 501-meter hill located in the Ries area east of Graz, Austria. Visitors go here for easy walking trails through the Styrian countryside and to view the surrounding landscape from an elevated vantage point.

Getting There

The hill is located on the eastern outskirts of the city. From Graz city centre, you can reach the area via local public transport or by car. The journey typically takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes depending on the mode of transport and traffic conditions.

Time Allocation

Depending on the length of the trail chosen, allow 2 to 4 hours to walk up the hill, spend time at the summit, and return.

When to Visit

The site is best visited during the spring, summer, and autumn when the trails are clear and the vegetation is active. Morning visits are recommended to avoid midday heat during summer. This location does not typically experience the high crowd levels found in the city centre.

Nearby Attractions

Because of its location east of the centre, you can combine a visit here with other nearby sites:

  • Graz Tramway Museum (2.1km)
  • Mariatrost Basilica (2.2km)
  • Platte (3.5km)
  • Herz-Jesu-Kirche (3.6km)
