The topography of the municipality of St. Johann im Saggautal is the ideal example for the entire South Styrian hill country. The municipality lies in the middle of the beautiful Saggau Valley. The main village lies at 316 m above sea level, the highest points reach up to 589 m above sea level. St. Johann im Saggautal is characterised by a diverse landscape: Fertile fields in the valley, lush meadows and orchards on the gentle to very steep hills with charming vineyards and vineyard slopes. A colourful forest area stretches in between.

Visit the Stelzl distillery in the village centre.
