Geography

Kitzeck 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.

Tourism

Kitzeck 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.

Church

The local church, dedicated to Our Lady of Sorrows, was built between 1640 and 1644. The funds were donated by a citizen of the nearby city, Leibnitz.
