As usual, a three-day package of cultural and touristic excursions is being planned for accompanying persons (family members and partners) joining delegates at HYDRO 2024.
The length of each trip will not exceed six hours. Among the sites provisionally planned for the three trips are:
Monday 18 November
• A visit to Stift Rein – a monastery, founded in 1129, with a chance to learn about handicrafts of Cistercian Monks.
• Lunch in central Graz.
• Visit to Museum der Geschichte, which is dedicated to preserving and showcasing the history of Graz and its surrounding regions.
Tuesday 19 November
• Visit to Lipizzaner Stud Piber, with a guided tour of the breeding, training and retirement home of the famous Lipizzaner white horses of the Spanish Riding School. This is a UNESCO natural cultural heritage site.
• Lunch in regional local restaurant.
• Guided tour of the colourful St Barbara Church.
Wednesday 20 November
• An exclusive tour of the well known Graz Opera House.
• The group will then take a cable car up to the Aiola restaurant, to have lunch and enjoy spectacular views of the mountains; they will also have a tasting of Styria’s regional speciality: pumpkin seed oil.
Confirmed full details of the three excursions will be available soon.
Accompanying persons are also welcome to join the evening social programme.
