IN THE NATURE PARK ZIRBITZKOGEL-GREBENZEN
Nestled between lush meadows, proud mountains, ponds, streams and moors, the intact beauty of our Zirbitzkogel - Grebenzen Nature Park can be enjoyed to the fullest. During forays through our forests and alpine pastures you will reach the 2,396m high Zirbitzkogel with its wonderful view of the Mur valley. But also the Grebenzen (1,892m) leaves nothing to be desired. The diversity of flora and fauna never ceases to amaze our guests, both young and old.

WHAT IS NATURE PARK?
Nature parks are "model landscapes" with particular ecological value. The Zirbitzkogel-Grebenzen Nature Park was already awarded the "Prädikat Naturpark" in 1982 and is thus one of the oldest nature parks in Styria.
WE TAKE RESPONSIBILITY
The Zirbitzkogel-Grebenzen Nature Park stands for responsible cooperation between man and nature.
GLACIERS & MORE
The Zirbitzkogel-Grebenzen Nature Park owes its special landscape form to the last ice ages, which left behind broad plateaus, lovely landscape forms, many ponds, streams and springs.
