The best MTB trails around Teufenbach-Katsch

Narrow-gauge railway between Unzmarkt and Tamsweg. A beautiful ride through the upper Murtal.

The spring's flow is declining sharply! A company is trying to pump more water upstream from the collecting shafts.

It's interesting and beautiful to observe the source here – between 90 and 120 liters per second of pure, oxygen-rich drinking water bubbles out of the ground. The excellent water quality encourages interesting plant growth in and around the source.

A good vantage point for the Hörfeld Moor European nature reserve. The moor is one of the largest and best preserved fens in Austria and is home to a unique flora and fauna. Rare and endangered species such as the curlew, the common snipe, the moor frog and various dragonfly species can be found here. The Hörfeld Moor also has a lot to offer botanically, including orchids, cotton grasses and carnivorous plants such as the sundew.

From Camping Bella Austria you can drive straight to the gravel road along the river

The Hörfeld Moor lies south of Mühlen on the border between Styria and Carinthia in a depression that was carved out by the ice age glaciers. Since then, a moor with adjacent wet meadows has developed. Because of its importance for nature, it was declared a European protected area. This means that you can discover such pretty moor plants as the white-flowered marsh trefoil, the pond horsetail, the yellow-flowered marsh marigold and the yellow-flowered tongue buttercup. Shrubs and trees, such as the buckthorn and the downy birch, are often mixed in. The small lakes provide the common frog, yellow-bellied toad and common toad with their spawning waters. The flower-rich tall shrubs provide a habitat for numerous, colorful butterflies, including the large meadow brown, which is endangered throughout Austria, and the fritillary. The Valerian fritillary is particularly pretty with its orange-black mottled wings. There are also over 130 species of birds to observe: Whinchat, Rosefinch, Lapwing, Corncrake, Teal and Water Rail are some of them. The starting point is the car park on the B92 south of Mühlen. To the southwest, the path leads directly into the moorland.
