The Mur cycle path
The Mur cycle path R2 is arguably the most varied riverside cycle trail of the Alps. Starting at Hohe Tauern National Park in the SalzburgerLand region, it winds its way along the river Mur all the way to the Styrian wine and spa country in the border triangle of Austria, Slovenia and Hungary.
In between, you can find a myriad of highlights. For instance, the Graz Region with the provincial capital of Styria, located roughly at the path’s halfway point. Apart from that, many other spots across the province invite you to get off your bike and take a little break.
The best thing about it: You don’t even have to make a detour to see most of the region’s best attractions as most of them are located right along the route.
