Climate Future Trail, Pöllau

Closed
The family-friendly trail runs for almost 10 kilometres through the historic cultural and natural landscape of the Pöllau Valley Nature Park. Climate Future Trail (by KLAR! Naturpark Pöllauer Tal)
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.

Climate future trail with information points on the topics:

  • Trees for shade
  • Wilderness and deadwood
  • Forest of the future
  • Forest show and experimental area
  • 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.
