water trail

The water course leads you along the Pyhrnbach stream and along the Teilbach stream. Along the way, you will also get to know the Pfleger pond, the valley station of the Wurzeralm funicular railway.

11 information boards give information about the plant and animal world, as well as the geology and bring closer ecological connections. The approx. 5 km long path lies between the town of Spital am Pyhrn and the valley station of the Wurzeralm Funicular. The signs with the information and information boards start about 2 ½ km from the center. The path is well developed and therefore easily accessible for all ages.
What you always wanted to know: how long does a toad need to cross the B138? What is the favorite dish of trout? How do caves form in the limestone?
The answers to these and many more questions can be found along the nature trail. Find out about which tiny animals live in the Teichl and the Pyhrnbach and how the water quality can be determined. Solve the puzzle and get acquainted with some trees. You will also learn why woody shrubs on the bank are important for a body of water and how the Spitaler forests are influenced. Take a journey back in time to the Ice Age, when the landscape around Spital am Pyhrn has been transformed. And get to know the nursing pond, which is visited annually by several thousand toads and frogs as spawning waters. A detour to the second origin of the Teichl (the origin is on the Wurzeralm)
The nature trail accompanies the Teichl and the Pyhrnbach through the valley. However, the Teichl rises high up in the area of the Brunnsteinersee and meanders through the bog area of the Teichlboden, where it suddenly disappears into the ground and re-emerges in the valley.
