Nature and history trail in Fohnsdorf

We start at the main square of Fohnsdorf (1), 736 m, and walk south along Judenburger Straße. It goes about 1 km straight ahead until we see the turnoff to the mining museum, where an asphalt road leads to the entrance of the museum on the left. Here is the start (2), 719 m, of the nature-history nature trail. We pass the buildings and mining relics on the left and orient ourselves by the signs of the theme trail. The first part of the themed trail virtually circles the former site, with several display boards providing information about the mining history of the town of Fohnsdorf. The further course leads along forest edge paths and on idyllic trails through the forest. We pass by ponds, which offer very comfortable resting possibilities. Finally, the trail passes a fish pond (3), 714 m, where we have a beautiful view of the Seetaler Alps. Via a forest path we come directly to the road, which we follow to the right into the center of Fohnsdorf.

Combine the circular nature-history trail with a guided tour at the mining museum. Tel. +43 3573 4647, www.bergbaumuseum-fohnsdorf.at
