Sporty and action-packed or relaxed and laid-back

Explore Styria by bike

Styria offers varied routes and trails for all tastes and skill levels.
With its rather flat terrain, the south is ideal for leisure cyclists. As the name suggests, the East Styrian Hills are perfect for cyclists who love a bit of up and down. If you’re looking for more challenging trails and ascents, look no further than the Graz mountains in the north or the Lipizzanerheimat region. Did you know that they are also perfect for e-bike tours?

Mur cycle path

Welcome to the main cycle route in the Graz Region.

Mur cycle path and river cycling

Styria’s longest and doubtless most famous riverside cycle path starts at Hohe Tauern National Park in the province of Salzburg. It leads to the wine-growing areas and the Styrian spa country in the southeast of Styria. At its halfway point, it crosses through Graz Region – an invitation to fall in love.

Our tip: In addition to the Mur cycle path, the region boasts numerous other great cycle routes. Many of them can be combined with the Mur cycle path and a tour of the city of Graz, as well as with each other.

Pleasure to the power of seven
