1x around the Kalkberg

Once around the Kalkberg over asphalt, gravel and meadow paths, one, two or three jumps into the cool water and a nice stop at the Maria Schönanger church.
This is an advanced mountain bike tour that offers some opportunities to cool down. From a scenic point of view, this route is one of the most beautiful in the Murau region and is therefore a must.
