Today, this flat moor is the last large wetland in East Styria, which is why it is also designated as a European protected area. It is a natural recreation area and rest area for numerous plant and animal species and is freely accessible. Driving through here is simply something to enjoy.
The "Nature experience - Hartberger Gmoos" gives insights into the local natural diversity. Europe-wide endangered and therefore protected species such as the blue buffalo, the kingfisher, the red-backed shrike or the greater mouse-eared bat find a home here.
