Discover Kulm am Zirbitz

Kulm am Zirbitz combines tranquil landscapes, nature observation and a historic manor house to create a destination with many different facets. The Doblermoos wetland area in the Kulm am Zirbitz district is particularly impressive: it covers more than 10 hectares of valuable wetlands. Those choosing a holiday apartment or holiday home can therefore select an environment where nature experiences, exercise and culture exist side by side.

Doblermoos: Wetlands and species-rich nature

The Doblermoos low-moor complex is a remarkable destination for anyone who wants to experience the landscape rather than simply pass through it. Seven amphibian species are known to occur there: yellow-bellied toad, common toad, European tree frog, common frog, Alpine newt, alpine newt and smooth newt. Until around 2015, at least 98 bird species had also been recorded in Doblermoos. This information makes the area particularly interesting for travellers who take time for close observation and prefer to spend their days with nature-related experiences rather than a tightly packed programme.

Exploring the St. Veit circular hiking trail

The St. Veit circular hiking trail begins at Doblhof. It first leads south, then continues along a field path into the forest towards Sankt Veit in the area. The trail also passes through the nature park municipality of Mühlen, past fields, through forests and along a bathing lake. This allows different landscapes to be experienced on a single hike: open spaces, forest and water alternate. The specific route will help you plan your day without requiring you to infer a walking time or a particular level of difficulty from the information.

Public parking spaces are available at Doblhof. This is a useful point of reference for visitors who would like to explore the circular hiking trail from its stated starting point. Families travelling with children can organise the day according to their interests: along the trail, the focus is on landscape and exercise, while in Doblermoos it is on observing animals and wetlands. Accommodation in Kulm am Zirbitz provides a suitable setting for incorporating such excursions into your personal holiday planning, without implying any specific facilities or distances.

Doblhof Manor as a cultural highlight

Doblhof Manor is a small castle dating from the 17th century. The ensemble includes a granary, stables and a brewery. This gives the starting point of the circular hiking trail a historical and architectural dimension as well. Those interested in culture will appreciate the traditional historical context: in 1629, Doblhof was the seat of Georg Dobler, administrator of the Groß-Sölk estate, who was granted the predicate “von Toblhaim”. As a result, the history of the place is not limited to a year but becomes tangible through a specific person and a specific manor house.

Seasonal travel ideas and other places

A festival organised by the Kulm Young Farmers’ Association attracts around 1,000 visitors every year. For your travel planning, this event can provide an additional cultural point of reference if it fits your desired travel period.
