ペラウアー渓谷の天然記念物・トップ6

Cycling is strictly prohibited here

The ascent via Schloffereckstraße is highly recommended, as it is very wide and there is little traffic. In addition, you climb a lot of meters in relatively few kilometers.

A wonderful comparison to our own life is drawn here in the form of 3 over 100 year old beeches to our own life. Excerpt from the description of these 3 books as "artists of life": "These 3 wonderful beeches want to remind us of "survival". Difficult living conditions and weather conditions have moved and drawn them..."

Interesting "summit cross". Great place for a break.

Three wonderful birch trees to remind us of survival.

The Schönauklamm lies around one kilometer northwest of Schönaudorf. Schönau Gorge © Helmut Schweighofer In this beech-maple-ash forest it is cool, damp and a bit dusky - that is a welcome cooling off on hot summer days. But a visit is also worthwhile in other ways: Fire salamanders can be observed - especially during and after rain - and the yellow-bellied toad likes to hang out in pools. Common bird species are great spotted woodpecker, greenling, cuckoo, great tit, blackcap, wood pigeon, robin and coal tit. On the other hand, the black woodpecker and tawny owl are rarer. The undergrowth of the shady trees is partly lush with the yellow-flowered tuberous comfrey, the first pink, then bluish spot lungwort (Hansel & Gretel) and the white-flowered bitter foam herb. The tall ostrich fern looks original. The starting point of the hike is the parking facility at the upper (northern) end of the Schönauklamm one kilometer northwest of Schönaudorf: The path (Fieberbründlweg 945) leads south from the parking facility - initially flat downhill, then, increasingly steeper, into the canyon forest of the Schönauklamm to lead down. With the connecting road via Schönaudorf it becomes a circular route. Source: https://www.naturpark-poellauertal.at/natur/naturpark/natur-juwele/schoenauklamm/

The weather cross is visible from afar. If you drive down from Buchkogel, you can still drive past easily. It would be a shame, it is worth stopping here for a moment and enjoying the view of the valley.

Beautiful summit with rustic rock formations. Comfortable ascent from Pöllau.
