There is always something going on

To Tamsweg and back.

Lungau lifestyle at its finest.

It is so close. Just a 15-minute walk from Lerchpeuntgut to Tamsweg. We simply want to drift along. Soon we reach the central market square with the town hall and its colourful houses. Every year during the alpine summer, one of the traditional Lungau Samson processions takes place here.

Nature to dive into

Enjoying the Prebersee.

Today we want to hike – nice and leisurely. At 1,514 metres above sea level it awaits us – the Prebersee. Beautifully bathed in sunshine, surrounded by moorland and forest. We walk the short loop and find blueberries and mushrooms. The children are thrilled –

Meeting the Finsterling.

Finstergrün Castle

It is said to stand in Ramingstein: Finstergrün Castle. What a name! It sounds legendary, a little spooky, eerie. But it also sounds like adventure, excitement, a cool experience. And that is exactly what we want today. So, off to Ramingstein

Medieval flair, then and now.

Moosham Castle

Lerchpeuntgut with a difference: clouds and a little rain. Somehow that is fine too. Back to bed? Into the cosy beds, onto the comfortable sofa? A rest day with a good book. That has its charms. Especially within your own four walls. Or an outing after all? Visit a castle, a museum.

Just like in the Emperor’s day

The Murtalbahn

Today we are going nostalgic. Properly! We are riding the Murtalbahn. And this is no ordinary regional express. No, this is a narrow-gauge railway from 1894. Wow – the children think it is super cool. At Tamsweg station we board the ancient carriages with their imperial flair.

The mill goes clickety-clack…

Zederhaus mill trail

Today we are making things clatter! On the Zederhaus mill trail. We are more than curious as we begin our roughly 1.5-hour circular walk in the centre of Zederhaus. Along the village stream we come to several historic mills, old farmsteads and grain stores.
