Hiking
Remains of Grünfels Castle. Unfortunately, the castle itself cannot be visited. A viewing platform has been set up at the Hunger Tower, from which you have a great view of the city of Murau.
The castle was originally called "Lubathein" and was probably built at the same time as Murau under Ulrich I von Liechtenstein. In 1269 it was destroyed by King Ottokar of Bohemia. Otto II of Liechtenstein had it rebuilt in the 14th century. The keep, the residential building, the remains of the fortifications with the hunger tower and the moat have been preserved to this day.
