Hiking to the Kneipp Movement TowerAuffen is located in the west of Bad Waltersdorf and is known for the Kneipp Movement Tower, which was built in 2005 and stands out clearly from the plain with its 33 meters. The tower is freely accessible and has the classic shape of an octagon. Over five floors, the five guiding principles – movement, herbs, water, nutrition, and order – of the well-known pastor Sebastian Kneipp, who lived in the 19th century and whose name is associated with Kneipp medicine or Kneipp therapy, are reflected. When you reach the observation platform at a height of 30.5 meters, you will be amazed by the panorama that stretches from Pöllauberg in the north to Riegersburg in the south. During the hike, you get to know small villages and their surrounding agricultural structures, as well as another highlight, the natural pond in the municipality of Großhart. This pond was built at the beginning of the 17th century and was owned by the Counts of Herberstein until 1954 before it was purchased by the municipality of Großhart. In 1974, it was designated a nature reserve, turning the water surface and the surroundings into a valuable habitat for numerous fish species and a variety of birds and amphibians. For the municipality, the Harter Teich represents a tourist showcase, with numerous recreational activities, the Harter Teich Tavern, and the school sports village, which consists of several huts built on stilts.
The region is characterised by its varied topography: From dense forests to green pastures and steep cliffs, the hikes in Großsteinbach offer something for every taste.
