Visible from afar in the Murtal, the Mugel is the local mountain of the Leoben and Niklasdorfers. The Mugel-Schutzhaus is also a base for many long-distance hikers. In any case, the view from the mountain is terrific!

Mugel Mountain Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Wonderful hiking trails, fitness-sapping mountain bike tours and popular ski routes lead to the Mugel. In addition to the futuristic-looking summit cross, there is also the ÖTK's Mugelschutzhaus, surrounded by green forests and a wonderful view of the Murtal valley.

Already at 8:00 left the winter parking lot but it was already 20 degrees and therefore a very sweaty tour over Silberbrun to the shelter for two ice-cold pig meats and then over the transmitter and ox stable back to the car🥵🥵🥵

A rainy snowy tour, but still great 😊. We encountered a black grouse and a deer 😁 and enjoyed cheese spaetzle and a pork sausage at the mountain hut.

After not having visited our local mountain in a while, it was time again. The only annoying thing at the moment is that the access to the summer parking lot isn't open yet!

Beautiful tour with great weather and a bit of snow, although you don't need crampons if you go off the trail in places.
