Oberwolz

Built around a medieval market settlement beside the Wölzer Bach, Oberwölz grew into a small Styrian town. It lies in the Wölz Valley beneath the Wölzer Tauern, part of the Niedere Tauern mountain range. Oberwölz is distinguished by its compact historic centre, where a remarkably complete circuit of medieval walls, gates and towers still encloses narrow streets and old buildings. As part of the Murau district, the town sits in a region shaped by alpine farming, forests and mountain pastures. It is a worthwhile stop for travellers interested in the quieter, lived-in side of Austria’s Alpine heritage.
