Kitzeck im Sausal (Austrian German: [kɪˈtsɛk ɪm ˈsaʊsal]) is the central town in the Sausal mountain range in Southern Styria, Austria. It is the highest-altitude wine-growing community in Austria. GeographyKitzeck im Sausal lies between the Koralpe in the west, the Little Hungarian Plain in the east, the mountains of Upper Styria in the north and the mountain ridges of Slovenia in the south. The area of the municipality is 1,629 ha. TourismKitzeck is home to the first wine museum that was established in Styria (1979). Besides Wine culture, tourism has become a pillar of the local economy and obviously both are pursued on close combination.
