The parish church of Kitzeck, picturesquely situated in the Styrian wine country, is dedicated to Saint Nicholas and is one of the highest churches in Styria. The baroque interior is particularly worth seeing.

A Klapotetz is a scarecrow common in the South Styrian wine region. It consists of a windmill with a shaft and beaters, which is intended to keep birds away from the vineyards during the grape harvest with its rhythmic clatter.

It is wonderful to walk through the beech forest along the stream, and then there is the old “mill” to marvel at.
