Tips from the Community

For a jogging round in Deutschfeistritz, I recommend the section on the path along the Mur river. This offers a flat and pleasant route with a beautiful view of the river and the surrounding nature. For those who like it more athletic and are looking for elevation gain, the challenging route through the shady Etscherlgraben is also great. Both variants are perfect for jogging in peace and enjoying nature.

For me, on my rounds, there is always a valuable fountain directly opposite the junction with the Stübingtal on the station forecourt.

In 1849 the first scythe hammer was built in Deutschfeistritz. With the help of water-powered, heavy hammers, scythes were manufactured until 1984 - 60,000 pieces a year. All information about the museum is available at http://www.sensenwerk.at/de/.
