The Mur - Styria's largest river 💚

This time we hiked to the source of the Mur. From the parking lot, we first climbed a pleasant incline to the Stickler Hut. From there, we continued to the source of the Mur.

There, we took a short break.

Definitely one of the better trips. You can go half way by bike, but it's steep. I went on foot myself and it's beautiful. Highly recommended to visit.
