Discover Sankt Anna Am Aigen

Sankt Anna Am Aigen brings together landscape, wine and local history in different ways. The Wine Trail of the Senses crosses geologically varied terrain and reaches elevations of up to 600 metres. At Vinothek Steiermark, wines and regional products take centre stage; the parish church, Sixthaus and memorial offer tangible points of connection with the town’s history. The Höll near Sankt Anna am Aigen is also part of the Natura 2000 site. For planning your holiday, this gives you a choice of different themes that you can prioritise according to your interests.

Wine and regional products

Vinothek Steiermark offers around 220 fine wines from the three Styrian wine-growing regions. There, you can get expert advice, taste wines and take them home. In addition to wine, the range includes regional products such as sparkling wines made by winegrowers, fine spirits, chocolates, wine accessories and handicrafts. The selection may change over time.

Tastings for groups of eight or more are available by prior arrangement. If you would like to include this offer in your travel plans, arrange your booking in advance. This allows you to plan the visit as a dedicated activity for a group, rather than assuming it is available as a drop-in activity at any time.

Landscape between the Wine Trail and Höll

Two features shape the landscape theme of the Wine Trail of the Senses: geological variety and elevations of up to 600 metres. The elevation and varied terrain give the trail a different focus from the historic sites in the municipality. If you would like to focus your trip more on landscape and nature, these are tangible points to consider when planning your own itinerary.

The Höll near Sankt Anna am Aigen has been preserved in its original state and is part of the Natura 2000 site. Together with the Wine Trail, it shows another side of the local attractions: here, there is an area with protected status that has been preserved in its original state; there, geologically varied terrain with a stated elevation. This distinction can help you decide which aspects of your trip you would like to give more attention to.

Local history in buildings and places of remembrance

Today’s parish church of Sankt Anna am Aigen stands on the site of a chapel dedicated to Saint Anne, first mentioned in 1545. Construction of the church was completed in 1712. Its furnishings include an image of the Holy Trinity created around 1730. The dates mark different milestones: the chapel’s first mention, the completion of the church and the date the image was created.

Sixthaus stands right beside the church square. It is considered the oldest house in Sankt Anna am Aigen and is a well-preserved remnant of the 18th century. A memorial in the centre commemorates the events of the war; it was rebuilt in 1999. The Maria Theresa Stone, in turn, is a boundary stone dating from the time of Empress Maria Theresa. These places offer different points of focus: from a historic building to remembrance and the history of boundaries.

In Jamm near Sankt Anna am Aigen, the Anton Weiß Bee Museum showcases traditional beekeeping from the last century. This adds a distinct subject area to the stories of buildings and places. Those interested in history can choose from several perspectives: religious art and architectural history, a preserved house, a memorial, a boundary stone or traditional beekeeping.

Find a holiday apartment to suit your travel interests

If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Sankt Anna Am Aigen, it is best to start by asking which themes you would like to shape your stay. Would you like to focus on wine and regional products, are you mainly interested in the Wine Trail of the Senses, or would you prefer to spend more time exploring historic sites? These priorities give direction to the rest of your holiday planning. If you are travelling with others whose interests differ, you can deliberately include the different focuses in your plans. This way, your accommodation search reflects the kind of stay you have in mind.
