Großhart Natural Pond

The Großhart natural pond was built around the beginning of the 17th century. The pond was mentioned for the first time in the sales bar of the Count of Thannhausen to the Count of Herberstein in 1657. The pond remained in the possession of the Counts Herberstein until 1954.
In 1954 the pond was bought by the Großhart community. In 1974 the Styrian state government declared the pond a nature reserve - a protected part of the landscape.
 The pond was leased for fish farming until 1975. In 1976 the community began to manage the pond itself in the form of fishing and continuously expanded it.Today, the pond is a tourist figurehead of the community and also contributes greatly to its economic success.
