Southeastern Styria

---

June 18th 2007 It´s Monday, so back to work cyling with our full packs.
But as we leave Graz we follow the Mur River down to the Slovenian border we have finally an easy cycling day.
We leave early so as to benefit from the cool morning. Together with a pleasant tail wind this strategy pays off as we find a campsite past our target distance for the day by a lake by mid afternoon which allows for a swim and a leisurely dinner at the campsite restaurant.

Lots of hydro electric dams (small scale) along this section of river.

As the Mur River turns Eastward to form the Austrian Slovenian border, there are a number of pleasant small towns such as this one near Mureck.
