The Mur cycle path leads through this section through a very beautiful and mostly quiet landscape. The route runs mostly on a poorly driving country road and just before St. Michael in Lungau then on a separate bike path.

After 8 kilometers we were surprised by a thunderstorm, but luckily we were able to take shelter and continue the journey when the rain had significantly subsided a short time later.
