Köflach is a small city in the
district of Voitsberg in Styria, at the foot of the Stubalpe mountain. The town has a population of roughly 10,000 and contains a federal stud in the village of
Piber that supplies the
Lipizzaner horses to the famous
Spanish Riding School in
Vienna .
Traditionally known for its coal mining, Köflach is slowly changing from an industrial town to a center of the service sector. The important industrial sites are Stölzle Oberglas, producer of glass, and LEAR, producer of car seats (especially for Magna Steyr). The thermal bath and hotel “Therme Nova” opened in 2004.
