From the western end of Murau (near the Red Cross), the route first takes you up the Lärchberg and then on to St. Georgen am Kreischberg. In this village, which has been crowned “Styria's most beautiful flower village” several times, you then cross the Mur River via the Holzeuropabrücke bridge to St. Lorenzen, from where you walk away from the Kreischberg and toward the golf course. Here, the trail winds its way through fields to the 18-hole golf course. Follow the Murradweg trail back to Murau.
