The Hubertushöhe hill lies between the districts of Gösting (13th) north and Eggenberg (14th) south, with Algersdorf right at the foot. The south and east slopes are populated ( Weingartenweg location ).
History and buildings
The name of the street is reminiscent of the viticulture that used to be practiced east of Graz; there are still some vineyards on the Hubertushöhe today. The northeast slope of Hubertushöhe is dug, the quarries in the former inn. Blue bottle in which the Plabutsch-, dolomite - sandstone was obtained as a building material, are known for various mineral finds.
From the turn of the century a villa area was built, including the Villa Stefferl ( Grabenschlössl , Weingartenweg 12). The road stretches from Algersdorf up the mountain to the Hubertushöhe guest house.
Because of the heavy overgrowth with bush forest, the panoramic view from the inconspicuous summit and the Kernstockwarte is limited. The Kernstockweg , a 16-kilometer hiking trail that leads from Gösting to Straßgang , also runs over the Plabutsch ridge (but not directly past the Kernstockwarte) .
