Eichberg round

This is a moderately difficult tour, but can also be completed by children.
This route offers the perfect opportunity to get to know the towns of Peterdorf and Althofen better. There are also fantastic viewing points to linger. In addition, most of the path sections are away from the main road, far into the forest areas. In this regard, you can really enjoy the nature of the Murau region here.
