Weekend Getaways around Graz

Since its opening, the miniature sculpture park Minimundus has attracted more than 15 million visitors. Source: Matko Mitrovic - A miniature sculpture park, the historical jewel Hallstatt, a chocolate paradise - these are just some of the destinations outside Graz that excite Matko Mitrovic, international student at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz). One of the reasons I chose Graz as a place to study is that there are many interesting places and sights within easy reach, from under an hour to a maximum of three hours away. Here are some of my favorites: - Miniature Sculpture Park Minimundus. In the city of Klagenfurt, Carinthia, you can find Minimundus , which is a miniature sculpture park. It displays over 150 miniature models of architectural sights from around the world, built at a ratio of 1:25 . The proceeds benefit the children's help organization " Rettet das Kind " ("Save the Child"), which owns the park.
