Krakauschatten: Klausen - Krakau - Preber

Krakauschatten is best known within Styria for its setting in the high Krakau valley beneath the Niedere Tauern. This small settlement belongs to the municipality of Krakau in the district of Murau, an inland Alpine area shaped by meadows, forests and long-established farming. The surrounding mountains place it well away from Austria’s major cities and main tourist corridors, while the wider Krakau area provides access to alpine roads and walking country.

The terrain of Styria ranges from Alpine ridges in the north and west to vine-covered hills in the southeast, giving Austria’s second-largest province a distinctly varied character. The Mur is its principal river, flowing through Graz, the provincial capital and largest city. Graz’s Old Town and Schloss Eggenberg are jointly inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List, linking Renaissance and Baroque architecture to the region’s urban identity. Southern Styria is known for vineyards and pumpkin-seed oil, while forests and pastureland shape much of the interior.

Austria stretches from the Bohemian Massif along its northern edge to the Carnic Alps on the Italian border, encompassing high Alpine ranges and the Danube lowlands. The Danube links cities including Linz and Vienna, while the Grossglockner, at 3,798 metres, is the country’s highest mountain. Vienna developed for centuries as the seat of the Habsburg court, leaving imperial architecture around the Hofburg and Schönbrunn Palace. Salzburg is closely associated with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who was born there in 1756. Alpine Tyrol, wine-growing areas east of Vienna and the lakes of Salzkammergut add markedly different regional identities.
