If you choose Hönigtal, you can plan your stay around a cultural highlight, an afternoon at the market or a forest trail. Calvary Hill & the Stations of the Cross, the Regional Market Square and the Taggerwald Trail offer different points of interest.

Religious heritage and events

The Calvary Hill & Stations of the Cross in Hönigtal begin in the Milchgraben and comprise 15 stations, from the Last Supper to the Resurrection. This sequence gives the visit a clear religious narrative and offers a different focus from the forest and art themes. If you would like to include sacred culture in your stay, you can plan the Stations of the Cross as a separate activity.

The Taggerhof in Hönigtal is a venue for the Schloss-Spiele Reinthal. If you would like to plan a performance into your visit, check the specific event dates. There is a difference to bear in mind when choosing dates: the farmers’ market takes place every Friday afternoon, while visits to the Taggerhof depend on the specific dates of Schloss-Spiele performances.

Market day at the Regional Market Square

A farmers’ market takes place every Friday afternoon at the Regional Market Square in Hönigtal. The square also symbolizes one of the four gateways to the hill country. Alongside its regular market activity, it therefore has cultural significance. Friday afternoon provides a specific time to visit, while the symbolism reveals another facet of the square. If the market is important to your visit, check seasonally whether it will be taking place on your chosen Friday.

Trails between forest and art

The Taggerwald Trail starts at the Regional Market Square and leads through forests. The market and the trailhead share the same landmark, but appeal to different interests. If you plan to do both, bear the market day in mind and decide which activity you would like to focus on that Friday afternoon.

The felt art hiking trail turns a section of the Taggerwald Trail in Kainbach bei Graz into an art exhibition. Comparing it with the Stations of the Cross highlights two different cultural focuses: religious stations on the one hand, and art along a section of trail on the other.

Landscape and refreshments in Kainbach bei Graz

Kainbach bei Graz is located in the Hügel- & Schöcklland region and in the “Grüngürtel um Graz” landscape conservation area. The town is therefore part of both a landscape region and a protected area.

The Hönigtaler Stub'n is a traditional wine tavern in Kainbach bei Graz, serving regional hot and cold dishes. If you would like to stop there, check the opening hours before your visit.
