Outdoor activities in Hochsteiermark
The region is the perfect place for anyone who wants to experience nature. And in the middle of the mountains. For some, the rugged cliffs of the Hochschwab massif are the destination. Others love the gentle hills of Peter Rosegger's Waldheimat. No matter where you end up, everyone is guaranteed to find their favorite place in the Hochsteiermark landscape.
It’s all about nature at Mürzer Oberland Nature Park
Mürzer Oberland Nature Park is one of Hochsteiermark’s most special regions. Located in the northeastern part of the green heart of Austria, it is surrounded by the summits of Rax, Schneealpe and Veitsch. You can also find expansive forests, lush green mountain pastures and picturesque river valleys there.
Two things are important at Mürzer Oberland Nature Park: environmental protection and enjoyment of nature. Both go hand in hand at the Nature Park, for instance on the “klimawandeln“ adventure trail or at the Forest of Senses. At the park’s 21 power places, you can smell, feel and hear nature from up close.
The varied NaturErlebnisProgramm offers nature lovers of all ages the chance to explore Alpine plants and animals. Whether it’s during a guided herbal hike or during a forest quiz for kids, there’s plenty to see, do and learn at Mürzer Oberland Nature Park!
