Wood World "Best of Tour"

Open
A journey into the world of wood in Murau - WOOD in all its ingenious facets awaits you here. Never before have you been able to experience the world of wood so comprehensively. The "Best of Tour" is an ideal start to the Holzwelt Murau. The Holzwelt ambassadors will accompany you and act as your personal door openers.
The most informative museum in the Alps, the HOLZMUSEM, is the central point of contact. The wealth of experience ranges from planting trees, to raw material and energy suppliers, to design objects. At Holzwelt Murau, we also attach great importance to enabling guests to experience "wood in the living space" - as a source of heat or as an architectural masterpiece. You will be amazed at how versatile wood is.
