Sankt Ruprecht ob Murau: Murau, Kreischberg - Kreischberg II
Kreischberg sits on the slopes above the Mur Valley in Styria, Austria, where wooded alpine ground opens into broad ski runs and mountain pasture. The resort rises from St. Lorenzen ob Murau to 2,118 metres and is one of the principal winter-sports areas in the Murau district; lifts and groomed terrain share the hillside with conifer woodland. It has also hosted FIS snowboard world championship events, including the 2015 championships. Below, Murau is the district’s historic town, with a medieval centre and Schloss Murau above the river. In warmer months, the same hills support walking and cycling, while the Mur Valley links the area with the wider Styrian landscape.

Sankt Ruprecht ob Murau lies along the River Mur in Upper Styria, with wooded slopes rising from the Upper Mur Valley around its compact settlement. It was an independent municipality until 2015 and is now part of Murau, a district centre whose historic core lies farther east along the valley. The area’s everyday character is closely tied to forestry and farming, long-standing livelihoods in this Alpine interior; the Mur also links a chain of settlements through the valley. Surrounding mountain country gives the locality a distinctly rural character. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of the Murau region.

The terrain of Styria ranges from Alpine ridges in the north and west to vine-covered hills in the southeast, giving Austria’s second-largest province a distinctly varied character. The Mur is its principal river, flowing through Graz, the provincial capital and largest city. Graz’s Old Town and Schloss Eggenberg are jointly inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List, linking Renaissance and Baroque architecture to the region’s urban identity. Southern Styria is known for vineyards and pumpkin-seed oil, while forests and pastureland shape much of the interior.

Austria stretches from the Bohemian Massif along its northern edge to the Carnic Alps on the Italian border, encompassing high Alpine ranges and the Danube lowlands. The Danube links cities including Linz and Vienna, while the Grossglockner, at 3,798 metres, is the country’s highest mountain. Vienna developed for centuries as the seat of the Habsburg court, leaving imperial architecture around the Hofburg and Schönbrunn Palace. Salzburg is closely associated with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who was born there in 1756. Alpine Tyrol, wine-growing areas east of Vienna and the lakes of Salzkammergut add markedly different regional identities.
