Via Natura Stage 3: The nature of water

Welcome to the VIA NATURA - a long-distance hiking trail with a length of around 130 km.
Learn the great secrets of life-giving water at the Grasluppteichen and realize that the principle of the water cycle and the water movements that you can observe in the outside world also occur within you.

For thousands of years, wise people have taught us that nature is a great book from which we can learn infinitely much. But instead of reading the book of nature, we listened to everything else and spurned the infinite intelligence of Mother Earth. Via Natura wants to bring people closer to nature and nature to people again.

Via the small town center in Zeutschach, the path leads along meadows and forests with beautiful views of the Zirbitzkogel to the Maria Schönanger pilgrimage church. You continue slightly uphill towards the Grebenzenschutzhaus and on to the 1st Grebenzenhöhe (1,870 m), which offers a unique insight into the nature park and an infinitely wide view to the south and north-west. You continue to the Dreiwiesenhütte. If you still have energy, you can hike through a larch forest to the 2nd Grebenzenhöhe (1,874m), which presents itself as a flat hilltop and offers a panoramic view of the fascinating mountain world. Through the Stiftswald and over the downhill Pfaffentritt, which was used by the region's "priests" centuries ago, you go towards St. Lambrecht, whose beautiful town center with the impressive Benedictine monastery of St. Lambrecht can be admired on the way there. The stage ends in St. Lambrecht near the monastery.
