It's no secret among insiders that camping in the Murtal makes the hearts of the community beat faster. Now two campsites in our region have been honoured with the camping.info Award.

Our Murtaler of this week stands quietly and reverently at 1817 metres above sea level and enchants with an incredible view. The Loretto Chapel on the Rosenkogel attracts many hikers almost magically - in summer and in winter.

This week's Murtalerin leaves no one cold, even though she is made of ice. The ice sculpture in Knittelfeld attracts many visitors to the Advent market and enchants with its Christmassy, magnificent appearance.

This week's Murtaler is tempting and full of sugary charm. Despite its fame far beyond the borders, Seckauer Lebkuchen has remained down-to-earth and typically regional. With all its facets and specialities, it took part in our interview.

Traditions are lived and loved in the Mutal. What belongs to Advent like snow belongs to winter? - Perchten. The sinister fellows are currently scaring young and old at many runs in the region. Reason enough for us to take a closer look at the dark figures for "I am a Murtaler".

The Schlosstaverne Farrach was recently awarded three toques and 16.5 points by Gault Millau. Reason enough for us to take a closer look at the establishment for "I bin a Murtaler".
