Murau - Frauenalpe

Challenging route that requires a lot of endurance and fitness. However, all efforts are rewarded with the view of the Frauenalpe.
This wonderful mountain bike tour with distant views of the Niedere Tauern, Gurktal Alps and Karawanken begins in the district capital Murau and leads to the 1,997m high Murau local mountain, the Frauenalpe.

Due to the difficulty, this tour is only recommended for advanced mountain bikers.
