Wooden road hike - Nickelberg - Maxriapl

Moderately difficult hike with a fantastic view of St. Peter am Kammersberg.
Most of the route leads through the forest and therefore away from the busy federal highway. On this path you can really explore and discover the nature of the Murau region and relax and find peace.
