Visitors are attracted to the market municipality of Frantschach-St. Gertraud all year round by its forests as far as the eye can see, beautiful panoramic views, farm holidays, riding facilities and the Weinebene hiking region.
The former mining town is today an industrial location of trans-regional importance with the production of paper and cellulose.
From a tourism perspective, the Weinebene with its alpine village is a popular destination for families, not just in summer but in winter too. The region lies at up to 1,900 metres above sea level, and delights downhill and cross-country skiers, snowboarders and tobogganers alike.
The emblem of the municipality is the blast furnace dating from 1848, a historically important industrial monument that was once used for smelting iron.
