Styrian Prealps
The Styrian Prealps (in German ''Steirisches Randgebirge'', in Slovenian ''Štajersko Robno hribovje'', in Hungarian ''Stájer Elő-Alpok'') is the proposed name for a subdivision of mountains in a new, and as yet unadopted, classification of the Alps, located in Austria and, marginally, in Slovenia and Hungary. Geography The whole range is drained by the tributaries of the Danube river. SOIUSA classification According to SOIUSA (''International Standardized Mountain Subdivision of the Alps'') the Styrian Prealps are an Alpine section, classified in the following way: * main part = Eastern Alps * major sector = Central Eastern Alps * section = Styrian Prealps * code = II/A-20 Subdivision The Styrian Prealps are divided into four subsections: * North-western Styrian Prealps (Stubalpe; Gleinalpe; Western Graz Highlands) - SOIUSA code:II/A-20.I; * South-western Styrian Prealps (Koralpe; Reinischkögel; Kobansko) - SOIUSA code:II/A-20.II * Central Styrian Prealps (Fischbach ...

Austria
Austria, , bar, Östareich officially the Republic of Austria, is a country in the southern part of Central Europe, lying in the Eastern Alps. It is a federation of nine states, one of which is the capital, Vienna, the most populous city and state. A landlocked country, Austria is bordered by Germany to the northwest, the Czech Republic to the north, Slovakia to the northeast, Hungary to the east, Slovenia and Italy to the south, and Switzerland and Liechtenstein to the west. The country occupies an area of and has a population of 9 million. Austria emerged from the remnants of the Eastern and Hungarian March at the end of the first millennium. Originally a margraviate of Bavaria, it developed into a duchy of the Holy Roman Empire in 1156 and was later made an archduchy in 1453. In the 16th century, Vienna began serving as the empire's administrative capital and Austria thus became the heartland of the Habsburg monarchy. After the dissolution of th ...

Graz Highlands
The Graz Highlands or Graz Mountains (german: Grazer Bergland) are a low mountain range north of the Styrian state capital of Graz in Austria. It is part of the Central Alps and forms the start of the Prealps East of the Mur. From a geological perspective, regions on the west bank of the Mur, which are clearly separate from the building of the Styrian Prealps, belong to the Graz Highlands. Location The Graz Highlands are a low mountain massif in the north of the Styrian Hills and lie mainly east of the River Mur. The core area of settlement is the Passail Basin, the adjacent Semriach Basin to the southwest and the Teichalm region to the north. Boundaries The Graz Highlands are bounded: * in the west by the Mur valley from Mixnitz to the northern city limits of Graz. By geological definition certain parts west of the Mur are also counted as part of the Graz Highlands, especially those which belong to the Graz Palaezoic, such as the Plabutsch ''Buchkogelzug'' * in the n ...

Mountain Ranges Of Hungary
A mountain is an elevated portion of the Earth's crust, generally with steep sides that show significant exposed bedrock. Although definitions vary, a mountain may differ from a plateau in having a limited summit area, and is usually higher than a hill, typically rising at least 300 metres (1,000 feet) above the surrounding land. A few mountains are isolated summits, but most occur in mountain ranges. Mountains are formed through tectonic forces, erosion, or volcanism, which act on time scales of up to tens of millions of years. Once mountain building ceases, mountains are slowly leveled through the action of weathering, through slumping and other forms of mass wasting, as well as through erosion by rivers and glaciers. High elevations on mountains produce colder climates than at sea level at similar latitude. These colder climates strongly affect the ecosystems of mountains: different elevations have different plants and animals. Because of the less hospitable terrain ...

To the north the mountain drops steeply into the ''Lantschmauern''. The Hochlantsch is a popular destination for those living in the Graz area due to its good views and easy access. The easiest ascent takes about two hours and starts at the Teichalm. One can either start at the Teichwirt or a few metres on at where the Teichalm Lift. Another variant from Mixnitz runs through the watery Bärenschütz Gorge. From the pub of ''Zirbisegger'' (accessible from Breitenau by car) the Friends of Nature Klettersteig (''Naturfreunde-Klettersteig'') runs up the rocky northern flank to the top. Nearby are the inn of ''zum Steirischen Jokl'' and the little pilgrimage church of Schüsserlbrunn.
