Eerily beautiful evening
Dark lanes, forgotten graveyards, and lost places of an old town that has seen a lot in its life. Who is still looking for whose skull today and where is the entrance to hell? A scary-funny city tour telling true stories, urban myths, and old secrets.
All stories are based on true events and still this walk leaves more than enough space for imagination. There are so many interesting places in downtown Graz that are linked to death, funerals, superstition, or criminal cases, all of which are not easy to find. Topped with the unique atmosphere of the town before sunset and some glimpses of a darker Graz – eerily beautiful.
