NaturKRAFTpark in the Hinterbrühl

Name: NaturKRAFTpark in the Hinterbrühl
Brand: Steiermark
Rating: 5 (1 reviews)

The "NaturKRAFTpark" is located in the center of the Pöllau Valley Nature Park - an amusement park for the soul, a fitness trail for the senses!

"Hearing", "seeing", "feeling"... are abilities that we take for granted, so they don't seem particularly great to us.

But ultimately it depends on our ability to experience how we encounter our environment, what the world and our own nature can reveal to us.

By car from GrazTo get to Pöllau bei Hartberg from Graz, take the A2 motorway in the direction of Vienna. After about 30 kilometres, take the Gleisdorf West exit and then take the B54 towards Hartberg/Pöllau. Follow the B54 for about 25 kilometres until you reach Pöllau.

We start this hike in the castle park.
The path leads us north along Ortenhofenstraße to a wayside shrine and the blue house of the Almbauer mill and bakery, where we turn left up the path and meet the yellow/blue markings as well as the signposts to NaturKRAFTPark and Hotel Gruber.
We follow the course of the water channel (Brühlbach) into the Pöllauer Naherholungsparadies Hinterbrühl with the NaturKRAFTpark.
Shortly after the barbecue area, we reach the natural swimming pond with biotope and beach volleyball court at Hotel Gruber.
Return along the same route to the Almbauer bakery/Ortenhofenstraße.
As an alternative to Ortenhofenstraße, we now follow the signs - a few meters north of the bakery - to the outdoor pool, and then walk through the adjacent Aupark with the pond and a large children's playground back to the starting point in the castle park.

The pure walking time from the castle park to the NaturKRAFTpark in Hinberbrühl is 30 minutes - you should allow at least 1.5 to 2 hours in total.
