The world's largest Klapotetz

Highlight • Monument

The largest Klapotetz (south Styrian scarecrow) in the world! There is a comfortable bench, you just need to take something to eat with you and then you can enjoy the great view!

Before the water runs out on the steep slopes of the vineyards, you can refill your tank here when you visit the lookout point; either with sugary drinks from the rest hut or – a few meters further down the access road – drinking water. There's also a restroom.
