Mur cycle path

Your starting point for the “Tour de Mur” is surrounded by idyllic mountain scenery.

First, you will cycle to Tamsweg with its historic market place, pilgrimage church of St. Leonhard. This region is characterised by wood in all its diversity. For example visit the wood museum St. Ruprecht.

Today’s destination is the tranquil town Murau, a medieval beer brewing town with a beer museum, the castle Murau and a beautiful centre.

The passages of the Mur Valley at the foot of the Niedere Tauern lead you to Frojach with its narrow-gauge railway museum; to the legendary ruins in Frauenburg and to the oldest mineral water spring in Styria in Sauerbrunn.

Many historic sites can also be seen in Judenburg: the city tower, the former sovereign’s castle, town houses and Magdalen Church.

The Maria Buch pilgrimage church and Seckau Abbey (Benedictine abbey) are worth seeing along the way.In the old industrial towns, one can clearly see how successful the locals dealt with their past when watching their architectural sites: Well-kept old towns, vibrant pedestrian zones, and interesting museums.

In Leoben you can visit the monastery Göss and the Gösser brewery. In Bruck an der Mur you will find interesting sites such as the Schlossberg hill, the Kornmesserhaus, and the city hall which are worth visiting.

First, you will cycle to Frohnleiten with its Murlendpark, and the “Tratschweiberbrunnen” fountain. Then, you will find pure nature along the way: old farmhouses and orchards and high cliffs. You will come across Rabenstein castle, the Lurgrotte caves and the open-air museum Stübing.

The capital city of Styria, Graz, has lots of points of interest to offer: the Schlossberg hill with its clock tower, Eggenberg castle, the country house and the town hall, countless museums and great restaurants.

The narrowness of the Mur valley is over. The Grazer Feld and, further south, the Leibnitzer Feld spread out and lead you to the southern border of Styria. Seggau Castle near Leibnitz is certainly one of the most impressive sights in the country. In addition to the royal rooms and picture gallery, there is also a 300-year-old wine cellar to visit.

Only a few more kilometers separate you from today's stage destination. Worth seeing in Leibnitz: the Frauenberg Temple Museum and the Flavia Solva Roman Museum.

Water of all kinds on the final stage: the Mur as a guideline, the Röcksee as a bathing lake, the Peterquelle as mineral water and the thermal springs in Bad Radkersburg (historic old town with many styles!).
