미셸도르프‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪7‬개의 천연기념물

A good vantage point for the Hörfeld Moor European nature reserve. The moor is one of the largest and best preserved fens in Austria and is home to a unique flora and fauna. Rare and endangered species such as the curlew, the common snipe, the moor frog and various dragonfly species can be found here. The Hörfeld Moor also has a lot to offer botanically, including orchids, cotton grasses and carnivorous plants such as the sundew.

very beautiful cave with super icicles

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. The small lakes provide the common frog, yellow-bellied toad and common toad with their spawning waters. The flower-rich tall shrubs provide a habitat for numerous, colorful butterflies, including the large meadow brown, which is endangered throughout Austria, and the fritillary. The Valerian fritillary is particularly pretty with its orange-black mottled wings. There are also over 130 species of birds to observe: Whinchat, Rosefinch, Lapwing, Corncrake, Teal and Water Rail are some of them. The starting point is the car park on the B92 south of Mühlen. To the southwest, the path leads directly into the moorland.

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.

It's hard to imagine that you're actually wading in the primeval sea near the center of Guttaring: Here, on a gently sloping slope, you'll find small, round stones that were alive around 60 million years ago. These are petrified protozoa from the ocean that once surged here. After it dried out, they were deposited in the ground as a layer of lime and marl. In Guttaring, the mini-fossils (also called nummulites) emerge on the surface. And because their shape is strikingly reminiscent of this, they were called "stone lenses". A perfect experience place for hobby geologists. And easy to reach!

In winter, stalactite caves made of ice form in the cave behind the Heiligenblut Church.
