The top candidates for the Styrian regional elections on 24 November in person: Governor Christopher Drexler (ÖVP) looks back on the highs and lows of his career during a hike to the summit - and reveals the influence of the "Schützi" on his favorite dish.

The weather is right. The hairstyle is right. Before setting off, he presses the start button on the black heart rate monitor on his wrist. "The Schöckl is my local mountain," says Christopher Drexler this morning, full of motivation. "I used to come from Graz, now I ride from Passail. There are a thousand different ways to get to the summit, so you never get bored."
