Ship Mill and Fixed Opening Hours

These clearly defined hours make it easier to plan a day combining a cultural visit with other impressions of Mureck.

Mur Floodplains, Climate Protection Garden and Murturm Observation Tower

Mureck outdoor swimming pool is located by the Mureck Mur floodplains. The Murturm observation tower, which is 28 metres high, is situated in the same landscape and offers views of the natural surroundings from the floodplains. This creates a local setting in which water, floodplains and viewpoints appeal to different interests. Whether you are looking for a more peaceful nature experience or would like to combine an outing with a distinctive destination, the Murturm complements Mureck's other attractions with a vertical perspective on the landscape.

Another highlight is the climate protection garden in Gosdorf near Mureck. The 18,000 m² site is dedicated to climate protection and sustainability. The garden is divided into several themed areas, including colourful perennial gardens, a rose garden, and medicinal, spice and culinary herb gardens. The different sections turn a visit into a discovery tour through a variety of plant and garden themes. For families and other travel groups, this diversity provides opportunities for conversation and the chance to enjoy the stay at their own pace, without implying any specific length of stay.

Water Experiences at Röcksee Lake

If water is part of your travel plans, Röcksee Lake is a separate option among the attractions in and around Mureck. Swimming is possible in Röcksee Lake, as is fishing. These two activities appeal to different ideas of a stay by the water: While swimming focuses on active refreshment, fishing allows for a different pace. When looking for accommodation, it can therefore be useful to determine your preferred holiday focus early on and then consider Mureck as a base for nature, culture or water-based activities.
