Kaindorf-Süd: Cycling Paths, Bridge and Petting Zoo

Kaindorf-Süd can be discovered via specific routes, excursion destinations and sporting experiences. The options range from a mountain bike route to Frauenalpe, a circular hiking trail and the Leonhardsweg to a free petting zoo. In winter, guided ski tours round out the activities.

By Mountain Bike to Frauenalpe

The Kaindorf–Frauenalpe mountain bike route begins at the Murradweg R2 in Kaindorf and heads south towards Frauenalpe. The paved section ends after approximately 900 metres at “Schaffer in Greith”, where a forest road begins. This sequence clearly illustrates the character of the route: the paved starting section is followed by a section on a forest road. From Murauer Hütte, the route continues along a forest track to the summit of Frauenalpe.

For the return journey, there are two options from Murauer Hütte: the Bernhard Fest Trail or Frauenalpenstraße to Murau. Those choosing a holiday apartment or other accommodation for a cycling holiday can already distinguish between the outward and return journeys when planning their day. The options mentioned provide different guidance for planning, without requiring you to commit to a single return route.

Routes for Different Day Plans

There are also several specific options for exploring the area on foot. The Leonhardsweg leads from Frauenalpe downhill via Kaindorf and then follows the Murradweg to Stadl an der Mur. The Kirchsteigweg circular hiking trail passes through the Kaindorf district. This allows different types of routes to be taken into account when planning a trip: a downhill route followed by a section along the Murradweg, or a circular hiking trail that passes through Kaindorf.

A prominent landmark is the Kaindorf Bridge. It is 35 metres long and freely accessible at any time, that is, all day long. This means the bridge can be incorporated into your own day plan independently of any specific event time. Those who enjoy connecting individual destinations along the way will find the bridge to be a clearly identified point alongside the paths and routes around Kaindorf.

Petting Zoo and Ski Tours

For an excursion involving an animal experience, the alpakahaus.at petting zoo is located in Woody Park and at the alpakahaus.at ranch in Kaindorf-Süd. Admission to the petting zoo is free. This may be of interest to families who want to include a simple visit to the animals alongside a sporting activity. The excursion stands on its own and does not have to be combined with a specific hiking or cycling route.

A different seasonal perspective is offered by mountain and ski guide Erwin Purgstaller at the Kaindorf-Süd 76 location. He offers guided ski tours ranging from gentle grassy slopes to steep high-alpine tours. Those looking for accommodation in winter can take this range into account when planning their trip; the specific tour options should be coordinated with their own plans.

Kaindorf-Süd as a Starting Point for Your Plans

When choosing a holiday apartment, the desired activity can determine the right daily rhythm.
