Take the bends, feel the freedom, enjoy life on the road - motorcyclists love the Gaberl Pass Road in the Mur Valley. And the Gaberl Pass Road loves its motorcyclists. For "I bin a Murtalerin", she told us why that is.

When the church bells leave the Murtal on Maundy Thursday and fly to Rome, the ratchets move into the region and many children look forward to accompanying Good Friday and Holy Saturday.

The motto of the Entdekungsradln in the Murtal is sport and enjoyment. This year, hard-working athletes have the opportunity to snatch the title of King and Queen of Murtal and secure the coveted winner's jersey. A highlight is the final event in October, when the most beautiful race track in the world opens its gates exclusively for cyclists. From 1 May to 30 September 2024, racing cyclists and mountain bikers will have the opportunity to join the Murtal Adventure Region Club on STRAVA (an app for tracking sporting activities) and compete for the title of KoMurtal & QoMurtal. Various tours are offered in the Murtal, allowing you to discover the most beautiful sides of the region.

This week we are introducing you to a bright and delicate Murtaler - as the Hoada in the Murtal valley blooms, the slopes of the Seckau Alps glow in an enchanting purple colour. A natural spectacle that attracts and amazes nature lovers.

Action-packed fun is on the programme for our Murtaler this week. Austria's largest indoor family leisure park entertains young and old. Playworld in Spielberg offers the perfect holiday entertainment.

Today's Murtaler looks back on centuries of history. The star tower in Judenburg can look back on 500 years of history and can tell of many experiences in the Mur Valley.
