The lookout point is located on the Lethkogel (608m). From here, there is an excellent 360-degree panoramic view of Stainz and the surrounding area, the Bachern Mountains (Pohorje), the Kor- and Gleinalpe, as well as the Graz highlands (Schöckel) and the eastern Styrian volcanoes.

One can expect not only an excellent panoramic view, but it is also intended to convey to visitors how one could see into the land from the former keep of the Altburg. The Altburg Schwanberg dates back to the High or Late Middle Ages and was an important defensive structure of its time.

The historic park is characterized by large old trees and numerous places to linger
