Nature tour (Nat(o)ur)

The hike in the spa community of Bad Blumau leads into nature and is intended to open the hiker's eyes to it. Come to rest at the power place at the 1000-year-old oak.
Starting from the Bad Blumau village fountain, walk clockwise along the route to the Stork Meadow. Enjoy the panoramic view of Bad Blumau. Follow the road for a short distance, then turn right at the beginning of the forest, at the top turn left into the forest. Along the edge of the forest go in the direction of Bierbaumer Eichenweg. Once here, turn right and walk uphill.  Passing revitlized farms you come to the 1000 year old oak tree. Stop under the crown of the tree (diameter approx. 50 m) and take a break. Follow the path towards Loimeth (forest edge and forest) and listen to the sounds of the trees and birds. At the end of the forest, discover the village of Loimeth on the right. At the crossroads turn right and then left into Eichelweg out of the village. Cross a small stream and then to the geomantic stone. Then turn right towards Blumauberg and just before the end of the forest turn left along the forest path to the parish church of St. Sebastian. Via the gravel path in front of the church downhill back to the village fountain in the village of Bad Blumau.
