Nature & Country Way

The Natura 2000 protected area is still a “host country” for many rare bird species.
The “airport” in the middle of the Zirbitzkogel-Grebenzen Nature Park is not only popular as a bathing and fishing paradise, but also a landing place for migratory birds from far and near. Around the internationally important bird sanctuary you can learn a lot about the diverse life forms in and around the Furtner Teich.
