Tips from the Community
Zmulner See The basin of the Zmulner See was formed by dead ice from an offshoot of a glacier that retreated westwards in the Glantal valley. The lake is located in a 40-hectare landscape protection area amidst intensively farmed agricultural land. It drains via the Rohnsdorfer Bach into the Glan river to the north. There are 8 species of fish here.

A very nice, small swimming lake. An ideal destination for a bike ride. Definitely worth a visit 😉.

A cyclist's rest area right next to the bike path. It features a freshwater fountain for cyclists and dogs, as well as an ÖAMTC tool station and air pump for flat tires.

Here, under some large trees, directly at a request stop on the Glantalbahn, you will find a beautiful and spacious rest area with a bicycle repair station, a seating area, and a small drinking water fountain - a very, very beautiful and shady place for a long break.

The Church of the Assumption of Mary – also called "Maria Pulst" – is located in the village of the same name, Pulst, on the southern slope of the Glan Valley. First mentioned in a deed of donation to the Order of St. John in 1263, this church most likely dates back to the 11th century. From the churchyard, one enjoys a beautiful view of the Glan Valley. Unfortunately, the church was closed today. Further information about this listed building and the charnel house next to the church can be found on Wikipedia at https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pfarrkirche_Maria_Pulst.

The Plague Cross, the largest and most important late Gothic shrine in the country, stands at the eastern entrance to Maria Saal on the former castle keep boundary. It is an arbor that is open on three sides with a pointed arch and a high roof. The Plague Cross was once a meeting point for pilgrims. On the way to the cathedral, the pilgrims walked through the Plague Cross one by one and crossed themselves three times.
