Paths, Landscape and Culture at Teichalm

The Teichalm Loop connects the Nechnitz plateau with Teichalm. The route includes scenic alpine pasture paths, Teichalm Lake and the raised bog. It therefore represents a combination of open alpine pasture landscape and moorland, without this description implying any particular seasonal use. A distinct cultural highlight is the wooden sculpture trail to the summit of Gschaid-Nock. Around 45 wooden sculptures, benches and energy fountains stand along the trail. They were created by woodcarver Erich Haider-Harrer. In the parish church, delicate vine paintings from 1512 add to the historical focus. This makes it possible to consider the nature trails and a specific sacred building with dated decorative elements separately.
