Pöllau tour via the Folklore Museum and Hotel Muhr, Pöllau

Open
This hike takes us through the district of Sonnhofen (market town of Pöllau) and Zeil-Pöllau (municipality of Pöllauberg). Both municipalities form the Pöllauer Tal Nature Park.
The circular hike begins in Pöllau Castle Park and leaves the village through the Aupark. The route continues over the Sauberg to the cabbage sawmill and then to the Folklore Museum. From there you reach the Hotel Restaurant Muhr. After a rest, the trail leads back to Pöllau via the Höhenweg.
