Beautiful Austrian landscapes, historic towns and unforgettable experiences

Our route will take you through picturesque landscapes along the Mura River, where you will enjoy nature, explore small Austrian towns and discover cultural gems. The cycling will start in the mountainous region and gradually descend towards the lower valleys, all the way to historic towns such as Murau, Knittelfeld, Bruck an der Mur and Graz.

Along the way, you’ll have time to visit museums, stroll around towns and enjoy local cuisine. At the end of the route, you’ll enjoy the grand opening of the Radgon champagne and the conclusion of this unforgettable cycling adventure.

In case more than 10 people sign up for the tour, the group will be accompanied by a guide on a bicycle, who will make sure the tour runs smoothly and guide you through all the stages of the route.

Knittelfeld - Bruck an der Mur

After a hotel breakfast and coffee in town, we will load our luggage into the escort vehicle and set off on Stage 3, which will take us through 51 kilometres of beautiful landscapes with 420 metres of climbing.
