Hörgenuss-Liege Hochgartl

Puch bei Weiz, Styria

LET YOURSELF BE CARRIED AWAY INTO THE REALM OF DIVERSE STORIES, AS ONLY THE REGION AROUND THE STYRIAN APPLE ROAD CAN OFFER. At Hochgartl, you are in the center of Puchs. Our church, which you can see from the audio enjoyment lounger, is dedicated to Saint Oswald and was first documented in 1386. For more than 600 years, priests have worked here for the spiritual well-being of the community, and rectory cooks for the physical well-being of the priest. No wonder then that the stories of this lounger are all dedicated to church, death, and the devil – after all, the most famous Pucher legends also revolve around these themes. Here you also have the unique opportunity to discover what it feels like to sit in an apple (admittedly, a real apple would be softer, but perhaps a little too small…). Whether on the lounger or in the apple, enjoy the audio enjoyment story about our invented priest of times past!
