Voitsberg Castle has been beautifully renovated in recent years. Whether it's a sweet garden or a fairytale path... there's something for everyone.

The glass museum is a must-see. Styrian production of various types of glass. Opposite is the mining area where a very nice circular path has been created for running, walking, etc. Top area...

The Bärnbach glassworks is a glass museum with an attached hotel in the municipality of Bärnbach near Voitsberg in Styria. The glass museum documents the history of Styrian glassmaking. Man discovered the secret of glass production over 500 years ago. The exhibition has a new focus every year. A fixed part of every exhibition are detailed models of the various steps in glass production as well as scenes from the cultural and historical development of the art of glassmaking. In addition, every exhibition includes a cross-section of the entire production range of the Stölzle-Oberglas glassworks. One of the most remarkable pieces is the award-winning largest bullseye window in the world, which was made in the Bärnbach glassworks. www.glashuette-bb.at
