Deep relaxation
What a country, the nature park Almenland!
Lush green meadows and dark green forests on rolling hills. In between, red dots: the roofs of the farmhouses. And in the middle, embedded in a wide high plateau, the dark blue Teichalmsee with its colorful pedal boats. All around, light brown and dark brown dots: "Almo" oxen that provide delicious beef and horses that are allowed to enjoy the summer on the alpine pasture. The soul becomes calm and people relax.
See you around.
General information
The Almenland is located in the north-western part of the Grazer Bergland around the Teichalm and Sommeralm. The region lies at an altitude of 464-1720 m above sea level and is characterized by extensive sub-alpine pastures, a cultivated landscape dominated by grassland with rock faces and gorges, as well as extensive forest landscapes.
The Almenland Nature Park stretches from the Bärenschützklamm gorge in the Mur Valley to the Freistritzklamm gorge between Birkfeld and Weiz and from Rennfeld in the north to Schöckl in the south. It has an area of around 442 km² and approx. 13,870 inhabitants.
The rocks in the region are very different, both limestone (Hochlantschkalk) and slate (Naintsch, Gasen, Haslau) occur in the region.
The nature park Almenland consists of six municipalities(Passail, Fladnitz/T., Pernegg/M., Breitenau/H., Gasen, St. Kathrein/O.) and three districts(Heilbrunn, Koglhof, Haslau) of the municipality of Anger and Birkfeld.
