Peter Rosegger's forest home

The great Styrian poet, who was even in the running for the Nobel Prize, was born a farmer's boy on the Alpl. In his later years, he returned to Krieglach and bought a house there for his family. In addition to donating to various churches in the region, he also took care of the education of the children of mountain farmers and built a forest school for them.

The birthplace, the house in Krieglach and the forest school now house exhibitions on the life of Peter Rosegger that are well worth a visit.

• The Rosegger Museum in Krieglach and the Rosegger Birthplace on the Alpl are open from April to October from Tuesday to Sunday and on public holidays, from 10.00 am to 5.00 pm
