For the success of our project SAGE \u2013 Interreg SI-AT<\/a>, we seize every opportunity to discover and understand the commonalities of the region. Therefore we took part in a very interesting one-day study trip on 5 July 2025. The theme was a cultural link between the two countries that has affected the Styrian region in a united way and which still generates strong emotions today: witchcraft and witch hunts.<\/p>\n

Our guide wrote her thesis on this topic, and told us about her professional motivation at the beginning of our trip. Our first stop was at Radgona Castle, whose history we learned a lot of interesting facts about on the bus, so we were free to spend our time in the castle’s rooms and halls.<\/p>\n

The owner of the castle himself offered us coffee, told us his personal story, and finally, over a glass of sparkling wine (named after a witch), answered our questions.<\/p>\n<\/div>
