It is also possible to explore the trail in two stages (separate northern and southern sections). The start and finish is the Pöllau Castle Park (west of the Parkcafe), in the immediate vicinity of the centre of Pöllau, where there are also culinary stops for a break. The nature park landscape is probably one of the most diverse and beautiful spots in Styria.

- Trees for shade
- Wilderness and deadwood
- Forest of the future

- Humus in the soil
- Rainwater utilisation
On the path (northern section) you can also discover the bumblebee showcase - our ecosystem could not do without them.

- At the "Humus in the soil" information point, we learn interesting facts about our soils. The path now leads us to the Hotel Restaurant Gruber. A loop around the popular bathing pond and we come to the forest path along the Saifenbach stream.
- The next information point "Wilderness and deadwood" is located at a forest area that has been taken out of use. We now return to the centre of Pöllau along the barrier-free path. The path continues through the beautiful Aupark to the next information point.
- "Rainwater utilisation" is not only explained here, but an illustrative object has also been created. The route continues through the mountain forest to Wieden. We soon find ourselves in the Haidenwald forest.At the
- "Schau- und Versuchsfläche" and "Wald mit Klimazukunft" information points near the Haidenwald tower, we learn how important a climate-friendly forest is. From here, the trail leads through forest, meadows and orchards back to the centre of Pöllau and our starting point in the castle park.
