Walk up to the Bruck Castle Hill

A comfortable and short 'hike' to one of the most beautiful viewpoints high above the Mur and Mürz. Shorter steeper sections, but mostly wide and paved paths. However, there is no winter service, and it is not fully accessible!

Actually an alternative old town walk with a summit achievement.
