Off to the south of Graz

You start the leisurely walk from the Graz Region Tourist Information offi ce and cross Landhaushof towards Schmiedgasse. Right by Andreas-Hofer-Platz you will come across the cycle path/footpath along the Mur. Here you turn left or downstream and follow the path straight ahead. Soon you reach the Augarten park and then the Augartenbad outdoor pool. Just after Augartenbad, turn right over the Berta von Suttner pedestrian bridge. Now our walk continues south along the right bank of the river. After a while you reach Puchsteg, a wooden bridge over the Mur that leads to the Grünanger recreational area. This facility invites you to while away the time in comfort right by the water. Now turn back towards the city centre and walk upstream along the river. Pass behind the “Seifenfabrik” venue, follow the signs for the R2 cycle path. The path now leads away from the river through residential areas until you fi nally reach the Mur again. You continue north and very soon reach Augartenbad and Augarten again. Augartenbucht was opened here in 2020, a local recreational area for all Graz residents, which off ers direct access to the Mur. If you get hungry or thirsty from walking, a visit to “Frankowitsch im Augarten” is a good idea. From Augarten, you can also walk to Graz city centre in just a few minutes.
