Schlossberg (Graz)

Schlossberg is a 473-meter-high hill that rises above the historic center of Graz, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the city and surrounding countryside. At its summit stands the iconic Uhrturm (Clock Tower), a symbol of Graz, which dates back to the 13th century. The hill is a popular recreational area with walking paths, gardens, and several historic structures, including the Glockenturm (Bell Tower) and the remains of the former fortress.
