Via Natura stage 8: Working in harmony with nature

From the village center of Mühlen, where at the starting point is told about working in harmony with nature, the path leads towards Kulm am Zirbitz. Living and working with nature is becoming increasingly important, especially in agriculture: proper cultivation, timing of the harvest, biodiversity in the crops to natural processing.
This is a long-distance hiking trail with a length of about 130 km.For millennia, wise people have taught us that nature is a great book from which we can learn an infinite amount. But instead of reading the book of nature, we have listened to everything else and spurned the infinite intelligence of Mother Earth. Via Natura wants to bring man closer to nature and nature closer to man again.
