Fehring is located in southeastern Styria within the Raab Valley, serving as a historically significant town near the Hungarian border. The town's past was heavily influenced by its strategic location, best exemplified by the Fehring Tabor. This medieval fortification was erected in the 15th century around the parish church to protect residents from Hungarian and Ottoman raids, and it remains one of Austria's best-preserved structures of its kind. Architecturally, the Parish Church of Saint Benedict stands as a prominent example of regional ecclesiastical art. Following its connection to the Styrian Eastern Railway in 1873, Fehring experienced significant economic growth and became a vital railway junction. Today, the town is a center for craftsmanship, services, and education within the Styrian Thermal and Volcanic Land. The surrounding rolling hills provide excellent conditions for viticulture and sustainable tourism. Annual cultural festivals celebrate local traditions, cementing Fehring's status as a lively community hub in southeastern Styria.
The most pleasant time to visit is Jun–Aug.
