The Kreuzteich is located near the famous Green Lake and can be easily reached on foot. There is a bridge at the eastern part of the pond, and not much further there is a small water wheel. The water is very clear. Dogs are not allowed to swim in the water here, otherwise they will damage the sensitive water plants. Many rubbish bins are set up along the circular route, therefore: PLEASE dispose of the rubbish there and DO NOT throw it into the water.

Green Lake

Highlight • Lake

"The Caribbean of Styria" is the name of the Green Lake. The emerald colors and crystal clear waters make this lake a unique natural spectacle. When the snow melts on the mountains in spring, the lake fills with crystal clear spring water. The height of the water level thus depends on the amount of snow in winter. By autumn, the water is steadily falling, in winter it disappears almost completely.

July 22, 2022,zum Grünen See vom "lustigen Steirer" in Oberaich über Bruck und zruck

I chose Oberaich near Bruck Mur as the start/finish point because there are no parking problems here (you have to pay everywhere in Bruck) and because there is the inn "zum merry Steirer" - an absolute highlight! The "Green Lake" has been described so often that I'll save myself another comment. The best time (because the lake is full then) …
