Culture and sights
Catholic parish church of St. Johann im Saggautal
The nature park municipality of St. Johann im Saggautal - discover and enjoy.
The parish is situated in the middle of the beautiful and fertile Saggautal valley and thus connects the Greith mountains with the wine-growing area on the Eichberg. The parish was historically and is still today very recognized by the magnificent baroque church, named after St. Johann Baptist. The Saggaubach and the Pößnitzbach with numerous tributaries are the prominent watercourses along the Saggau valley. St. Johann i.S. is situated at 316 m above sea level and impresses with a well-kept still rural landscape with many idyllic places to discover. Here you can still find numerous old so-called "Kellerstöckl'n" as well as the over 250 years old Rauchstubenhaus in Gündorf. Because of its location near the South Styrian Wine Road, St. Johann i.S. is often called the "heart of the South Styrian wine country". The municipality is a central starting point for many unforgettable day trips. An extensive network of hiking and biking trails invites you to explore the gently rolling landscape on foot or by (electric?) bike.
For example, there is the circular hiking trail St. Johann im Saggautal, the Blumenreichweg, the Untergreithweg and the approx. 8 km long circular trail "Weg der Sinne" ("Path of the Senses"), which was built and awarded a prize by the rural youth. This "Path of the Senses" leads with numerous stations along vineyards and through wooded areas to the Ratzberg and over the Eichberg back to the starting point at Josefiplatz in St. Johann i.S. The hikes on these paths offer guests and their families the opportunity to get to know our community in an interesting way and to experience it down-to-earth and up close.
For the physical well-being numerous Buschenschenken and inns provide with their culinary delicacies. With us there is still time for nice conversations with the guests. So not only the "art and culture hunger" is satisfied. The vacation offer also includes private accommodations, guided horseback riding, a soccer, tennis and curling sports facility, the "Napuki Nature Playground" for children, a fishing paradise and the possibility to experience fun and games with children on horses in the great outdoors. We invite you to visit our community.
