Beautiful wooden signpost at the Krameter Kreuz. This alone makes the residents of Fanningberg seem very likeable.

From the Rader Chapel you have a wonderful view down into the valley. There is also a comfortable bench nearby. In the neighboring Raderhof you can rent rooms and apartments and spend a holiday on the farm.

The Murtalbahn is as much a part of the Murau region as Murau beer, the Kreischberg or the legendary figure of Anna Neumann. It is not just the local public transport - the historic steam train is particularly recognizable, painting a picture of a long-gone railway era in the Upper Mur Valley. On a route of 64 km (narrow gauge: track width 760 mm) directly along the Mur, between Unzmarkt, Murau (Styria) and Tamsweg (Salzburg), you can enjoy a train experience like it's in the books! The route is the second longest narrow gauge railway in Austria after the Mariazell Railway. The Murtalbahn runs from Unzmarkt - Tamsweg and from Tamsweg - Unzmarkt every 2 hours. https://www.steiermarkbahn.at/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/r630-un-ta-a3-quer-druck-final-29112023.pdf From July, a steam train will run on the Murtalbahn route on selected Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays! https://www.steiermarkbahn.at/reisen-freizeit/murtalbahn-dampfzug/
