Moderately difficult bike tour with a scenic circular route around the fantastic mountain lake - Hauserersee.

This route offers a few meters of altitude and makes you sweat a lot on certain sections of the route. At Lake Hauser, however, all the effort is made worth it by the incredible view of the pearl of the Murau region, the lake itself.

Jumping into the cool water really rounds off your bike day.
