Polstal

Among Styria’s communities, Polstal stands out for joining several settlements along the upper Pöls valley beneath the Niedere Tauern. The Pöls River gives the municipality both its name and its route through a rural part of Upper Styria, where villages and farmsteads lie between wooded slopes and mountain pastures. Today’s Pölstal was formed in 2015 from the former municipalities of Bretstein, Oberzeiring, Sankt Johann am Tauern and Sankt Oswald-Möderbrugg. Oberzeiring recalls an older chapter: medieval silver mining is documented here, and former workings are interpreted at the local show mine.
