The Rechbergrennen is situated in the Grazer Bergland, a low mountain range in the east of Austria. The Rechberg-pass where the race takes place, has an altitude of about 920m.
The Grazer Bergland is a populair destination for hiking trips. Most tourist choose to climb one of the peaks like the Hochlantsch (1720m), the Rote Wand (1505m) or the Schöckl (1445m). Equally impressive is a climb into the Bärenschützklamm. This narrow gorge is made accesible to the public with a specially designed wooden path build into the sides. Instead of climbing you could also descend into the mountains. Caves that are open to the general public are for example the Lurgrotte, Grasslhöhle and the Katerloch.

The nearest major city is Graz, 40km south of Rechberg. It is the second largest city of Austria.
It’s central location between East and Western Europe gave Graz a crucial role in many conflicts. The impenetrable fortress that once overlooked the city is sadly demolished. The armoury however can still be visited in the Landzeughaus, it is the world’s largest.
The citycentre was declared a world heritage site in 1999, but Graz is by no means a monument frozen in time. Graz is an important town for modern architecture and modern art, which comes together in the bizarre looking Kunsthaus. Other eras are equally well represented. From the time of the Habsburgs residency in Graz date the Cathedral, the Burg and the Mausoleum of Emperor Ferdinand II. Also not to miss are the Barock Schloss Eggenberg and the Mariatrost Basilica.
