Sankt Sebastian, Styria

Sankt Sebastian is a tranquil district on the outskirts of Mariazell, offering a serene escape from the busier town center.

Visitors come here for the peaceful ambiance and direct access to well-marked hiking trails that wind through the Styrian countryside. The district is also home to a few guesthouses and farms where you can experience local hospitality. In winter, the surrounding hills become a playground for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.
