A summer day in the Murau region
The quiet, cool night air drifts in through the open window. Finally, a really good night's sleep. Snuggled in your soft duvet, you blink at the sun and listen to the birds singing. Feeling refreshed and relaxed, you wander into the Restaurant for breakfast, greeted by the cozy, warm smell of freshly brewed coffee and pastries. The covered larch terrace facing east invites you to sit down and admire the rising sun. Your wish to experience summer freshness with all your senses truly comes true.
Full of energy, you explore the Murau Kreischberg region at your own pace. Climb to the highest peaks in the Lower Tauern mountains. Lose yourself in the sparkling mountain lakes. A dip in the cool water feels amazing. As you gaze into the distance, you'll want to hug the mountain peaks of the Karawanken, Dolomites, and Hohe Tauern.
On 2 wheels, you'll ride through the side valleys of the Mur Valley, comfortably conquer some elevation with an e-bike, or push yourself to your limit on a mountain bike, feeling every muscle in your body. In the heart of Austria, you'll cruise over passes along the most beautiful routes in the Eastern Alps, heading south. Your motorcycle gives you a feeling of freedom.
Murau will enchant you
The picturesque old town invites you to linger. The Mur river winds through the town like a green ribbon. On your stroll past the old city wall, you'll discover many different churches, like the Gothic parish church with its ancient frescoes. You'll admire the beautiful Hämmer houses on the main square. Curiously, you'll cross the Mursteg bridge to the modern district administration building (Markus Tschapeller).

You're invited to try forest bathing around the Leonharditeich pond. As you look over the Mur river, you'll admire the Renaissance castle of the Schwarzenberg family. If your curiosity is piqued, we invite you to visit the Murau Craft Museum or take a guided cultural walk. Just let yourself go.
