View of Graz from the Fürstenstand on Plabutsch
Highlight • Viewpoint
If the Plabutsch alone is not enough from a sporting point of view, I recommend joining Straßgang. Via Florianibergstraße to Bildbaum, then via the Orthacker inn to St. Johann and Paul. Then over the Gaisbergsattel to the Fürstenstand and over the gravel road down to Thalbachstraße.
If you want to go further, you can drive to Tiefenbachstraße, thread safely into the gravel road and can either drive to the Gösting ruins or Plankenwart Castle. :)

View of the valley toward Strassengel from Jungfernsprung
Highlight • Viewpoint
The lord of the castle, Wulfing, the last of the Göstinger family, is said to have had two daughters. Katharina was married to Otto von Thal, while two knights were competing for the hand of the younger Anna. Anna's lover was ultimately defeated in a deadly sword fight and the girl, heartbroken, threw herself from the rock near the castle into the Mur. Wulfing was then struck by a stroke.
The viewing platform at the Jungfernsprung can be easily reached via a 100 m long path with a handrail. A brass plaque on the rock still commemorates the repair of the climbing system in April 1932.
