Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Bruck an der Mur à Graz

This cycling route takes you from the charming town of Bruck an der Mur, known for its historic city square and riverside views, all the way to the vibrant city of Graz, Austria’s culinary and cultural capital. Covering just over 63 kilometers, you’ll ride mostly on quiet roads and dedicated cycleways—so it’s a pleasant journey for most cyclists.

The route starts out with some climbing as you leave Bruck an der Mur (expect a total ascent of about 600 meters), but you can look forward to more descent than ascent as you approach Graz. You’ll pass through rolling Styrian countryside, often following the Mur River, so there’s no shortage of pretty landscapes mixed with stretches of forest and small villages.

Graz itself welcomes you at the end—a UNESCO World Heritage site brimming with Renaissance courtyards, lively markets, and the iconic Schlossberg hill. It’s a rewarding ride that offers both natural beauty and a taste of Austria’s urban charm!
