Murtalblick round

The leisurely hike leads to beautiful viewpoints. The view of Murau and the upper Murtal is particularly impressive.

This tour is particularly suitable for nature lovers. Far away from the busy road, you can discover the fantastic forests - even one or two "bankers" invite you to take a leisurely rest. Families and children in particular get their money's worth in this round.
