Graz is the starting point: the Grazer Burg is 1 km from the center, Schloss Eggenberg 4 km. Between 20 and 22 km out are the Ruine Ligist, Ruine Krems, Burgruine Obervoitsberg, Schloss Hornegg and Schloss Waldstein. Elsewhere, Burg Deutschlandsberg is 27 km from Wolfsberg, the Riegersburg stands at 484 m, Burgruine Frauenburg dates from 1248 and the Ruine Hauenstein sits at 952 m.
RLQuest knows 227 castles, palaces and castle ruins in Styria, 153 of them with a Wikipedia article. The state is even stronger in caves, with 311 on its own page, so a day out can pair a hilltop ruin with a hole in the ground. RLQuest turns either into a quest; the app checks your recorded route, and every tile you cross on the way is yours to keep.
Every dot is a place. The numbers mark the highlights listed below.

RLQuest knows these places too. Which means:
Some of your daily quests lead to a real place near you. The app uses your location to check you were really there.
If you're the first person in RLQuest to complete a quest at a place, it's your first find. The Place Book shows you which kinds of place you're still missing.
Every walk uncovers tiles, each about 350 m across. Over time you can see which corners you know well, and where you've never set foot.
