Turnau is a rural market town in the heart of Hochsteiermark and lies in a quiet high valley at 800 metres at the foot of the Hochschwab. Turnau offers a very good infrastructure: bakery/pastry shop, butcher, grocery store and much more are mostly centrally located in the village centre. A wide variety of culinary tastes can satisfy their hunger with the diverse local offerings - from traditional regional cuisine in cosy inns to the “Wilden Wirte” in the Hochschwabvenison enjoyment region and gourmet chefs to hearty mountain hut innkeepers, there are all kinds of delicacies to enjoy in the Turnau region.
A wide range of accommodation is available, with something for everyone from holiday homes, romantic rooms, holiday farms, guesthouses, inns and star hotels. Our many active associations provide plenty of programmes and authentic events for leisure activities all year round. Alpine huts, whether managed or self-catering, serve as a good starting point for leisurely hikes and challenging mountain tours all the way up to the Hochschwab peak, which is also crossed by the BergZeitReise and the hiking route “Vom Gletscher zum Wein".
