More information

  • We start at the information board "Schattenspender Baum" in the castle park right next to the car park (access via Julius Meinl Straße).
  • We leave the castle park through the access road and follow the signpost "Klimazukunft-Weg" (Climate Future Trail), where we follow the road for a while until we turn right towards Hinterbrühl.
  • Passing the bumblebee showcase and shortly afterwards the information point "Humus im Boden" (humus in the soil), we now arrive at the Hotel Restaurant Gruber.
  • We circle the bathing pond to the north and thus reach the forest path along the Saifenbach.
  • Along the barrier-free path we meet the next information point "Wilderness and deadwood" and further on we get back to the centre of Pöllau via the Aupark.
In any case, we always plan enough time to enjoy the culinary delights of the region's warm hosts!  
Timetables and travel information can be found at Österreichische Bundesbahnen (ÖBB) or at Verkehrsauskunft Verbundlinie.

For local transport we recommend the SAM-Sammeltaxi Oststeiermark. (HF5943 Pöllau Schlosszwinger)
