Mur Cycle Path

Day 1: St. Michael im Lungau
Individual arrival in St. Michael im Lungau.

Day 2: St. Michael – Murau (55 km)
First, you will cycle to Tamsweg (historic market place, pilgrimage church of St. Leonhard). This region is
characterised by wood in all its diversity (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.

Day 3: Murau – Judenburg/surroundings (65 km)
Today, you will ride your bike through the valley of the Mur river at the foot of the Lower Tauern Mountains. In Frojach, you will find the Narrow-Gauge Railway Museum, in Frauenburg legendary ruins and in Sauerbrunn the oldest mineral water source in Styria. Many historic sites can also be seen in Judenburg: the city tower, the former sovereign’s castle, town houses and Magdalen Church.

Day 4: Judenburg/surroundings – Bruck an der Mur/Oberaich (60 km)
On the fourth day, you will visit Maria Buch (pilgrimage church) and the monastery Seckau (Benedictine abbey). 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.

Day 5: Bruck an der Mur/Oberaich – Graz (60 km)
First, you will cycle to Frohnleiten (park Murlend, 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 many 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.

Day 6: Graz – Mureck (65 km)
In Seggau castle you can visit the Fürstenzimmer (sovereign’s room) and art gallery and enjoy some wine in the 300-year-old wine cellar. This way you can get into the right mood for the South Styrian wine road. The church, the city hall, and the ship mill are all worth seeing in Mureck.

Day 7: Mureck – Bad Radkersburg (25 km)
On the short final stage, the river Mur will guide your way. You can also swim in Lake Röcksee or you can visit the mineral water spring Peterquelle and relax in the thermal waters of Bad Radkersburg (historic old town with many different architectural styles!). At the end of the day: departure/return transfer; or you can extend your trip, which we recommend in our category A hotel, since the admission to the thermal bath in Bad Radkersburg is included in the price.
