Kalkberg-Runde
Open
Long hike, mostly in the forest, leading to ponds, to the pilgrimage church Maria Schönanger and up to the back of the Kalkberg to Zeutschach.
In the middle of the forest hides the higher Podolerteich, which invites you to relax and unwind. High spruces and larches reflect in the quiet water surface, which make this place look like in a fairy tale. Especially for families, this bathing pond is a very special attraction, because besides bathing fun, you can also learn a lot about the untouched nature.
