August 22, 2025, Tremmelberg Observation Tower

A beautiful destination. Imposing tower structure with a managed tavern. Brisk ascent via 'Wolfsgrube'. The descent via 'Vorder-Tremmel' on the forest road makes it a circular route. Starting point: Sachendorf parking lot. The tower tavern is open continuously from May 1st - October 31st (10 am - 7 pm).

The sign on the bridge finally shows the name of the river we are driving along. Beautiful steel construction!

This "Floating Mur Bridge" is not far from Kobenz and St. Margarethen and crosses the Mur. There are benches on the bridge to rest on while watching the water rush by. The height of the bridge depends on how high the water is. This bridge is a popular destination for a short walk and bike ride and is easily accessible. It's always worth a visit!
