From the Sperl Nature Park Farm to the Furtnerteich

Surrounded by the Wölzer Tauern and the Seetal Alps, the Furtnerteich looks as if it were in a cauldron. This place radiates a central power, no wonder, since the pond is located in the middle of the nature park. Freely accessible all year round, the Furtner Teich is not only a swimming paradise, but also known as the region's bird airport.

From Adelsberg to Adendorf in the direction of the train station you walk along the municipal road: at the end of the town you cross the road and reach a gravel path. This leads to the Furtner Teich. A hike to this pond is worth it. Numerous information boards provide information about the fauna and flora of this large biotope. It is not for nothing that over 237 different bird species have been identified over the decades. You walk along the Via Natura towards Mariahofer Fortified Church. It's worth a visit. Shortly after the Mariahof fortified church, the path branches off to the right and after a section of forest (Pestkreuz) you come to a grazed meadow. From there you don't follow the signs, but go across the field to the end of the pasture. Cross the Adendorfer Bach and follow the gravel path to the right. After about 150m, turn left at the Steiner property and walk another 400m to the Sperl Nature Park Farm.
