Thirteen hectares of "new" landscape has been developed with the hot springs park which -as a giant resort area - joins the hot springs with the village centre. Just off the road, the park, with the "Safenbach" brook as its ecological lifeline, is an inviting place for a pleasant walk. Mostly indigenous plants, apple trees and beech trees have been planted here; wine trellises, wild shrubs with rapeseed and sunflowers are also cultivated. A great deal of this area is similar to water meadowlands. The idyllic pond system with its prominent coves and stone walls lends the park an almost Mediterranean flair.

The Baroque Parish Church was constructed by the royal masonry master Bartholomäus Ebner of Graz from 1702 to 1703 and is dedicated to the Roman officer and martyr Sebastian. It is an element connecting our widespread community. The entire building was renovated between 1962 and 1987.

This grotto in the middle of a forest in the tiny village of Speilbrunn is a popular destination for guests seeking peace and quiet. It was built in 1936 at the initiative of Josef Griesler and was last renovated in 1994.

The daughter church in Jobst that is dedicated to Saint Anna has belonged to the parish of Bad Blumau since 1787. The impressive church structure was built in 1741 on the spot where a 16th century chapel had originally stood. The plans most likely came from the Pöllau architect Remigius Horner. There is a group of sculptures of Saint Anna with baby Jeses on the altar. It was last renovated in the autumn of 1998.

A hike from Weinbergweg to Bierbaumberg leads to an unforgettable natural moment: In a meadow surrounded by forest is a giant old tree.

You can relax in its shadows or you can sit and contemplate the many, sometimes stormy epochs that this magnificent tree has survived.
