From Styrian cheese to wine and pumpkin seed oil
The Mur Cycle Path is known as one of the prettiest river bike trails in the Alps. It starts in the Hohe Tauern National Park and takes you all the way to Croatia. Back in 2012, the ADFC even gave this bike path 4 out of 5 possible stars!

- Day 5: Leoben - Oberaich - Bruck an der Mur - Pernegg - Frohnleiten (from here, you can choose different routes on both sides of the river all the way to Graz) - Graz

As a guest at Murauer Gasthof Hotel Lercher, you can easily plan parts of the 2nd and 3rd stages of the Mur bike path into your daily rides.
The path takes you right through the 'Wood World'. Curious about wood as a raw material? Then you should definitely check out the Wood Museum in St. Ruprecht.
You can also cover parts of the route with the Murtalbahn. This cute little narrow-gauge railway offers a comfy alternative and lets you enjoy the refreshing breeze along the Mur even more.
Downstream, you'll find a cozy sandbank where you can take a break. Listen to the gentle rushing of the Mur. With every meter, that tiny little spring grows into a flowing river.
