Graz hears Rosegger: City tour with songs, poetry, and local anecdotes.
On Wednesday, October 1, 2025, the guided tour “From Peterl to Peter” leads through the city center of Graz – meeting point is at the fountain in front of the Graz Opera. This shared walk with the GrazGuides and Anna Maria Gutschi brings Peter Rosegger vividly to life: from forest farmer’s boy to acclaimed author, from dreamy poet to committed citizen. Reflecting his love for folk music, participants will sing traditional songs and musical adaptations of his poems – sheet music is included.
Anecdotes and quotes round out the portrait of this sensitive and warm-hearted man. Singing together adds a special tone to the experience – a charming blend of city history, literature, and music. By the way: a fascinating insight for anyone who values leisure in Styria with cultural depth and a strong local connection.
