Zeltweg Airport stands in a flat basin of fertile farmland in the winding valley of the Mur River, surrounded by a ring of mountains in the near distance. The town of Zeltweg is right alongside its airport. This airport serves the region of Styria, in central Austria. The airport, known in Austrian as Flughafen Hinterstoisser, is now the main base for the Austrian air force, as well as housing a small public airport. Next to the airbase, taking advantage of the flat terrain, is the Red Bull Ring, a full-scale international motor racing circuit that hosts many events, including the Austrian Grand Prix.
120 miles southwest of the capital city of Austria is Zeltweg airport. The tourist highlight of Zeltweg itself is Farrach Palace. This is an ornate 17th-century mansion built in an Italian Renaissance style. If you tour the area you'll find attractions like the Wipfelwanderweg tree-top park. This is an innovative series of wooden stairs and walkways into the canopies of a forest providing memorable views. If you take advantage of car hire in Zeltweg you can take day trips to many of the surrounding cities, including Vienna which is a two hour drive away.
