The Hörfeld Moor wetland is home to over 500 species of butterflies, moths and birds. A paved hiking trail leads around and through the moor and gives visitors an insight into its sensitive habitat.

The Hörfeld Moor lies south of Mühlen on the border between Styria and Carinthia in a depression that was carved out by the ice age glaciers. Since then, a moor with adjacent wet meadows has developed. Because of its importance for nature, it was declared a European protected area.

This means that you can discover such pretty moor plants as the white-flowered marsh trefoil, the pond horsetail, the yellow-flowered marsh marigold and the yellow-flowered tongue buttercup. Shrubs and trees, such as the buckthorn and the downy birch, are often mixed in.

Here is a lookout point, but further towards Mühlen is a footbridge through the moor, which is home to plants that only grow here.
