The Grazer Bergland, the limestone hills along the Mur valley north of Graz, is the home crag of Styrian climbers. Its centrepiece is the Röthelstein (1,263 m) above Mixnitz, whose south and south-west facing walls – the Ratengrat, the Breite Wand and the Röthelstein south face – carry well-protected multi-pitch routes up to the 7th grade; linked together as the "Grazer Bergland Marathon" (Südpfeiler, Goldader and Freudentanz), they add up to almost 600 m of climbing in one long day. Around them lie many single-pitch sectors, from the Nadelspitz to the Arena and the Zsigmondy wall, from beginner level up to the hardest grades.
The usual starting point is the Drachenhöhle car park in Mixnitz (447 m), about 20 minutes' walk from Mixnitz station; from there the walls are around 50 minutes away. Do not turn off towards the Bärenschützklamm gorge – drive straight on along the railway. The walls get very hot in summer, so spring and autumn are best. Bring a helmet.
