Inside the Schlossberg in Graz hide tunnels, dragons and one of the longest slides in the world. This family tour makes history an adventure.
The clock tower is the symbol of Graz, and it has a secret: the big hand shows the hours and the small hand the minutes. Your guide lets the children puzzle over why, and tells how the citizens of Graz once paid to save the tower from destruction by Napoleon's troops.
Inside the hill a dragon train carries you past scenes from famous fairy tales. On request you can go down via the Schlossberg slide, one of the longest underground slides in the world.
At Glockenspielplatz, figures turn in a window at set times, a lovely finale for young and old explorers. The tour is private and priced per group.
