The best-known caves in Styria
Ordered by how much has been written about each place. The numbers match the map.
Styria is cave country, and much of it lies within reach of Graz. The Lurgrotte is 18 km from the city (the Lurgrotte Semriach carries the date 1894), the Eisbründlhöhle 5 km, and around the 19 km mark there is a whole cluster: Kleine Badlhöhle, Fünffenstergrotte, Römerloch and more. The Drachenhöhle sits at 950 m, 29 km from Graz, the Katerloch 22 km; the Raucherkarhöhle and Odelsteinhöhle are further out, with no larger town nearby.
Of the 311 caves RLQuest knows in Styria, only 35 have a Wikipedia article. Most are places you only find because the map says they are there. Castles are the state's other strength in the app, with 227. RLQuest gives you a few quests each day and checks them; reaching a cave mouth for the first time is one it can read off your route.
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.
