The Murau region

The Murau region makes you feel good – that’s something you’ll quickly realise when you spend some time here! For instance, while exploring the forests of Austria's most densely wooded region, during a visit to the Brewery of the Senses or at one of the many traditional events. Regardless of whether you prefer to be active or simply want to relax while on holiday: The Murau region offers countless opportunities to consciously take time for yourself and to bring your body and mind back into balance.

Arrive, feel good and experience true variety: In the region, no two days are alike – holidays here have many beautiful facets.

The region’s mountain and water worlds

Not one, not two, but eight spectacular mountains call the Murau region their home. The Murau mountain worlds invite nature lovers to explore the region at their own pace – while hiking or cycling in summer or while skiing or snowboarding in winter. Murau’s bodies of water are wonderfully refreshing and attract water sports enthusiasts in summer and ice skating fans in winter.

Nestled between mountains, lakes and forests, the region's nine picturesque villages each have their own unique charm. Crystal-clear lakes and lush green forests complement the unique landscape experience.
