Mariazell is the most important pilgrimage site in Austria and is located close to the Styrian border with Lower Austria. Legends give the town's founding day as December 21, 1157. At the same time, the first Marian basilica was built up in Mariazell, after the Mother of God removed a boulder which blocked the road. A miraculous limewooden statue of the Virgin Mary, nicknamed "Magna Mater Austriae", has been ever since honored by millions of pilgrims, amongst whom princes and bishops, emperors and popes.

The Erzberg mountain is one of the most important industrial memorials in Styria and throughout Austria and is located close to the town of Eisenerz in the Ennstal Alps. Since the eleventh century at least, but most probably since the eighth century, the Erzberg had been mined for iron ore, especially in the form of siderite. The Erzberg was the largest open-cast ore mining site in Central Europe. This is why the mountain progressively eroded and was because of that nicknamed the "styrian loaf of bread". Around the Erzberg, in the Eisenwurzen area, an undreamt economic recovery occurred in the nineteenth century, a recovery which has thereafter probably instigated the building of Voestalpine AG and of the University of Leoben, Austria's national university for mining, metallurgy and materials. Erzberg is educationally speaking a very popular destination. Austria Bus would be pleased to provide you with coaches or minibuses for bus excursions to Erzberg.

Bus excursions to the Riegersburg castle

The Riegersburg fortified castle stands at the top of a high basaltic mountain, about 200 metres above the municipality of Riegersburg, Styria. Over 6.000 years ago, this castle was used for purposes of defence. The oldest parts of today's castle date from the eleventh century. After a massive strengthening of the stronghold during the Austro-Turkish Wars, the Italian military general who also served as general for the Austrians, and was also a prince of the Holy Roman Empire, Montecuccoli, called the Riegersburg castle the "best bulwark for the Christendom". Since 1822 the Riegersburg castle has been in the Liechtenstein dynasty's possession, and under the influence of this princely family, the Riegersburg castle has become one of the most popular places of interest in Styria. It is with great pleasure that Austria Bus will organize your bus excursions to the Riegersburg fortified castle as well as your bus transfers from and to numerous events which take place in the Riegersburg castle.

Herberstein castle is worth seeing on several fronts: on the one hand, the Herberstein castle itself is an extremely prestigious building and it is historically speaking very interesting; on the other hand, you will find close to the castle the Herberstein Animal and Nature Park which is recognizable with the extensive enclosures which shelter animals from the five continents. What is also worth mentioning is that the Herberstein Animal and Nature Park owns the biggest cheetahs' enclosure in Europe in which in 1978 for the very first time, a prey simulator was introduced in order to keep cheetahs in a near-natural environment with a near-natural feeding; this approach has been fruitful.
