Wine TastingHiking
Ehrenhausen is a historic wine town on the Mur River, known for its magnificent Renaissance mausoleum that dominates the landscape. Built in the 16th century as a monument to a Croatian military commander, the mausoleum represents one of Austria's finest Renaissance structures. The town's position on the river has shaped its history, with the historic center featuring Renaissance and baroque architecture. Today, Ehrenhausen combines this rich architectural heritage with its location on the South Styrian Wine Road, where vineyards climb the hills behind the town. The riverside walk offers peaceful strolls, while surrounding wine estates and traditional taverns provide opportunities to taste the region's celebrated wines. This blend of cultural monuments, architectural beauty, and wine tradition makes Ehrenhausen a captivating destination in South Styria.
