In the midst of impressive mountains and untouched alpine meadows of the Hohe Tauern National Park, Muhr enchants you with its idyllic atmosphere at every turn.
In wintertime, the impressive landscape of the national park community of Muhr with its glistening snowfields and icy waterfalls will grab you and embosom you with its unique tranquillity.
Nestling between majestic mountains and protected by the imposing Hafner, Lungau's highest mountain, you will enjoy your summer vacation as a real nature experience.
The source of the Mur, Austria's second largest river, lies in the rear Murwinkel at an altitude of 1,898 meters. You can explore this natural gem on well-developed hiking trails that lead to alpine pastures, mountain lakes, and impressive natural monuments. The exhibition "(M)Ursprung – Natur im Fluss" provides exciting insights into the surrounding landscape.
A particular highlight is the car-free Hinteres Murtal-Muritzental valley (the valley bus takes you there). This is also the starting point of the famous Mur Cycle Path, which leads you through wonderful landscapes along the Mur river to Bad Radkersburg.
The Prangstangen are an impressive custom in Muhr, where wooden poles up to six meters high are decorated with tens of thousands of flowers.
They are carried in the annual Corpus Christi procession and symbolize gratitude for the harvest and nature.
