This tour explores the eastern side of Graz, starting at the Mur promenade. Begin with a section of the Murradweg R2, then tackle the steep climb at Gedersberg in Seiersberg. A wooded path leads to a scenic spot perfect for a shady break.
The route continues off-road around Buchkogel, offering views of Graz. Two taverns along the way—Gasthaus St. Johann und Paul and Gasthaus Orthacker—provide food and drink options. Nearby, a chapel with a skywalk offers another panoramic view.
Head towards Thalersee on mixed gravel and forest roads. For added elevation, consider detouring to Fürstenstand. Near Thalersee, visit the Arnold Schwarzenegger Museum, housed in his birthplace. Conclude the tour through Graz’s outskirts, taking in several scenic viewpoints and off-road segments.
