Furtner Pond

Neumarkt in der Steiermark

The Furtnerteich is not only a bathing and fishing paradise with beautifully manicured lawns and boat rentals, but also a breeding ground and stopover point on the journey from north to south and vice versa for birds. Migratory birds orient themselves according to the stars, the sun, the earth's magnetic field and special landscape features. The pond also has a bathing jetty and a circular path around the bird sanctuary.

During a cozy walk along the circular trail, you'll find yourself swept away by the beauty. Water lilies, mallards, coots, great crested grebes, and moorhens share the 12.5 ha pond with numerous fish and toads.

More information about the Furtner Teich circular trail.

Countless bird species love this paradise just as much as fish, dragonflies, and of course the bathers who enjoy the true luxury of life here for free. The untouched and species-rich shoreline is an internationally significant resting place for numerous migratory birds. This is also why the Styrian Provincial Bird Protection Office is located here.

Additionally, the Furtner Teich in Mariahof is no longer a secret tip among fishermen.
