Relaxing, skiing and eating in Lungau

The most relaxing place i have ever been to is Lungau. 


You may ask yourself why, as there are many beautiful valleys in the Austrian Alps. But there is something incredibly charming and peaceful about this place. Perhaps that’s because I have only visited it during vacations, when the only thing on my mind was relaxing, but I believe that’s not the case. 



Most of the valley sits at around 1000 m above the sea level, and is the perfect escape from the busy city life and the burning heat of summer. Personally I loved going hiking in the nearby mountains and seeing the wildlife, there is just something calming about going for a walk between all the horses and cows minding their own business, grazing and whatnot.


I even got to see the source of the river Mur. While all of the hiking and the nature is amazing, nothing can compare to skiing. During the winter, Lungau turns into a ski resort that offers great trails, comfortable accommodation and food to die for.


So basically good food, hiking, scenery and skiing,that is what makes it the most relaxing place for me.
