Discover Judenburg

Judenburg can be explored through several clearly distinct themes: archaeological finds, vehicle history, memorial sites and a section of the medieval city wall. This variety helps you weigh up your interests when planning a stay. The Murtal Museum and the Puch Museum focus on different subjects; the memorial and Sautörl add places of remembrance and urban history. If you prefer outdoor activities, the Sendertrail offers another, quite different theme.

Archaeology and Vehicle History

The Hallstatt period takes centre stage at the Murtal Museum: the exhibition offers a journey into the Early Iron Age, the period between the 8th and 6th centuries BC. On display are archaeological treasures from the rediscovered cult wagon grave and helmet grave. The focus is therefore on early history and specific grave finds. If you are interested in archaeology, the visit combines a named historical period with objects from two particular graves. These finds give the subject a precise framework and clearly distinguish it from the Puch Museum’s technical collections.

The Puch Museum Judenburg displays the Puch 500, Haflinger and Pinzgauer, including original and restored vehicles. Its wide-ranging collection also includes bicycles, scooters, mopeds and motorcycles. The subject thus ranges from bicycles to motorised vehicle types and covers a variety of models. For your choice, the contrast with the Murtal Museum is helpful: here, the focus is on Puch vehicles and their variety, while there, it is on archaeological evidence from the Hallstatt period. If you are particularly interested in vehicle history, you can use the models mentioned as a guide while also noting the collection’s different categories.

Memorial Sites and Urban History

The Judenburg memorial and Sautörl also offer different points of focus. The memorial commemorates the Jews of Judenburg. Sautörl, at the end of Capistrangasse, consists of the remains of the medieval city wall. Here you encounter two distinct themes: remembrance of the Jewish population and an architectural remnant of the city’s medieval history. Together with the museums’ collections, these sites broaden the perspective on Judenburg to include remembrance and preserved historic buildings.

Sendertrail and Route Selection

The Sendertrail, established in 2021 by Trailarea Judenburg, offers separate zones for the whole family and is also suitable for children aged five and up. The Proline, established in 2022, is aimed at experienced riders; Senderland, established in 2023, is for children and beginners. The routes can be combined according to length and difficulty. The areas therefore differ not only in their target groups: length and difficulty are also factors to consider when choosing. If you plan to ride the trail, check the current route configuration before setting off, as it may change.

Getting There and Getting Around

Judenburg town centre is about a 20-minute walk from the railway station. Alternatively, regional bus routes 1 and 2 are available, as well as numerous other bus connections. Since bus services can change, it is a good idea to check the timetable before travelling. The Murradweg runs through the whole of Styria and passes the Sternenturm in Judenburg. It is also advisable to check the current route details before planning your ride.
