Graz Highlands

The Graz Highlands are bounded:

• in the west by the Mur valley from Mixnitz to the northern city limits of Graz. By geological definition certain parts west of the Mur are also counted as part of the Graz Highlands, especially those which belong to the Graz Palaezoic, such as the Plabutsch Buchkogelzug
• in the north by the Breitenauertal (valley containing Breitenau am Hochlantsch) and the valley of the Gasenbach. Other definitions view it as the line from Mixnitzbach via Teichalm  to Gasen
• in the northeast by the upper Feistritz valley

In the south and southeast the Graz Highlands transition into the East Styrian Hills and Graz Basin.
