Experience nature pure directly on your doorstep. Enjoy activities such as hiking, cycling, rafting, golf, horse-riding and many more.

Hiking: The “Mur“ valley holiday region offers numerous scenic hiking tracks between 800m and 2700m for all levels of difficulty. Dramatic changes in the landscape between the eleven different hiking regions of the area make the hiking in Styria particularly exciting. The “Gstoder” mountain in St. Ruprecht boasts the most spectacular views of the valley; the hike to the “Zwiefeln” glacier lakes is versatile and offers the most beautiful mountain panorama. The seven-peak mountain tour from the “Frauenalpe” to the “Kreischberg” is a challenge for even the more seasoned hikers. Beautiful family hikes are also accessible from the 'Turracher Höhe', such as the magical 3-Lake Walk.

Cycling: The 45 km bicycle track “Murradweg” starts in Predlitz only 10 minutes away from Turracher Höhe and a few hundred metres of our chalet in St. Georgen. It is most picturesque between Stadl and Murau. There are numerous restaurants and picnic spots and the route leads through the unspoiled scenery of the Nock- and Tauern mountains along the river Mur. Mountain biking can be enjoyed in many places and the Turracher Höhe is a small paradise with its various cycling tracks in breath-taking scenery.

Murtal Steam Train: The city Murau is perfect to have a break and recharge your batteries and if there is not enough in the tank to pedal all the way back, the historical Murtal train brings you and the bike back to your starting point. A special attraction is the possibility to be a locomotive driver yourself. Under the guidance of an experienced driver, you are allowed to control the steam engine, whistle and valves. To remember your performance you receive a locomotive driving licence.

Golf: Situated between the Kreischberg and Murau is the 18-hole Golf course and driving range of St. Georgen/St. Lorenzen. The surrounding mountains, wooded areas and the river “Mur” set magnificent scenery for a leisurely game of golf. Its said to be one of the most beautifully set 18 hole golf courses in Austria. You can reach the golf resort within a 5 min drive from our log cabin in St. George. The restaurant 'Pfiff' at the Golf club also comes highly recommended (and tested by us) for golfers and walkers alike.

Other Activities: “Murtal Rafting“: The river “Mur“ offers ideal conditions for rafting catering for all grades of difficulty from beginner to more seasoned adventure rafter. Golf: Horse Riding: On offer are hikes on horseback, riding lessons, pony riding for children and excursions by horse-drawn carriage.
