Modriach: Höhenweg, Kultur und Skigebiet

Modriach offers various ways to plan a diverse trip to western Styria. A circular hiking trail leads through forests and meadows, historic buildings give the village a distinctive character, and the Modriach-Winkel ski resort adds a clearly defined winter theme. Those looking for a holiday apartment in Modriach can therefore shape their stay according to their preferred focus: exercise in the landscape, explorations of cultural history or days at the ski resort.

Experience nature: the Modriacher Höhenweg

The Modriacher Höhenweg circular hiking trail begins in Modriach and leads through forests and meadows. Along the way, the trail passes a wetland area. This combination makes the hike an opportunity to incorporate different landscape impressions into your day’s plans. Especially if you enjoy combining your own activities with shared discoveries while on holiday, the Höhenweg can be noted down as a specific excursion.

The starting point in Modriach is also relevant when choosing your holiday destination. If you would like to include the hike in your plans, you can choose accommodation in Modriach as a base for your stay without making your entire holiday revolve around a single theme. This leaves room for a visit to historic sights or an excursion to the Modriach-Winkel ski resort.

Church and bridge as traces of history

The parish church in Modriach is dedicated to Saint Vitus. Its history goes back a long way: it is first documented in 1245, while the present-day church dates from 1716. For travellers interested in regional architectural and local history, the church thus provides a tangible reference point for the development of Modriach.

Another prominent building is the Ströhberne Bridge. It was built in 1816 and still contains a comparatively large amount of wood from the time of its construction. The bridge is also a listed monument. Together with the parish church, it offers a cultural perspective on Modriach that can be easily combined with a trip in which not only landscape and activities, but also historical details play a role.

Modriach-Winkel ski resort

The Modriach-Winkel ski resort is located in western Styria’s Modriach-Winkel at an altitude of 1,000 to 1,230 metres. The ski resort is therefore a distinct focus for planning your trip. If you would like to combine your stay with winter sports, you can make sure when searching for a holiday apartment that Modriach is a suitable destination for this purpose. The altitude provides useful orientation regarding the area.
