Lebring: Cultural Trail, Mur Cycle Path and Golf Course

Lebring offers several clearly distinct starting points for planning a trip: a circuit through the Teufelsgraben, the cultural trail, the Mur Cycle Path, the pump track and the golf course. If you are looking for a hotel, you can first consider which of these activities you would like to make the focus of your stay. The information below distinguishes local stops and routes from offerings across the entire market town, helping you plan your stay around culture, outdoor activities or events.

Cultural Trail and History

The cultural trail passes through four Hengist municipalities and comprises 42 stops in total. They showcase geological, archaeological, historical and cultural heritage features. In Lebring-St. Margarethen, the section is described in more detail as the Teufelsgraben circuit: it is about 10 kilometres long and takes approximately three hours to walk. The 42 stops describe the cultural trail as a whole, not this circuit alone; the figures therefore provide two different points of reference—the length of the trail and the approximate time needed for the circuit.

The surviving Landgerichtskreuz (historic district court cross) at Teufelsgraben commemorates a historical territorial boundary. The imposing wayside shrine marked the northern edge of the small district court area that the Archbishop of Salzburg granted in 1458 around Seggau Castle and the market town of Leibnitz. It still stands amid gravel pits today. The circuit thus combines outdoor activity with a tangible insight into the history of the area.

Cycling, Hiking and Getting There

The Mur Cycle Path runs directly through Lebring and continues to Bad Radkersburg, near the Slovenian border. Your planning can therefore be based on a cycle route with a stated course and destination, while the Teufelsgraben circuit is described in terms of its approximate length and walking time. If you are choosing between hiking and cycling, these different details can help you decide what to focus on during your trip.

Another hiking route over Wildoner Berg starts at Lebring railway station. The station can be reached by S-Bahn line S1; RegioBus 600 also runs to the Lebring Thallerweg stop. If you are planning to travel by public transport, check the current timetable and stop information before setting out.

Golf, Pump Track and Cultural Programme

The internationally renowned 36-hole GC Gut Murstätten golf course is located in Lebring, in an idyllic and peaceful riverside forest. If golf is the focus of your stay, the course is a distinct option alongside the hiking and cycling opportunities. Check the golf course’s operating details before travelling.

The Lebring pump track offers another way to spend time actively: anything with wheels can be ridden there, and people of all ages are welcome to improve their riding skills. Bikers can use it free of charge during opening hours. Check the latest operating details before your visit.

The cultural programme of the market town of Lebring-St. Margarethen may also play a role in planning your trip. It includes the traditional Gady market, as well as regular concerts, readings and theatre performances. Dates and programme details may change; if you are planning your stay around a particular event, check the latest information.
