Knittelfeld, Municipality in Murtal District, Austria
Knittelfeld is a town with municipal rights in Murtal District, situated along the Mur River in Styria. The area contains residential and commercial sections interspersed with green spaces, shaped by the river landscape that runs through it.
The town gained its municipal rights because of its strategic position along an important trade route in the region. In 2012, the merger of the former Knittelfeld District with Judenburg District reshaped its administrative boundaries and governance structure.
Traditional buildings mix with modern structures throughout the town center, shaping how locals and visitors move through the streets. The community gathers regularly at public squares for markets and events that bring people together.
The town offers good infrastructure with shops, banks, restaurants, and public services distributed across the area. The Mur River provides opportunities for activities like walks along the banks and access to outdoor recreation throughout the year.
The town's forestry department earned the PEFC Award in 2024 for exemplary woodland management practices. This recognition highlights the place's commitment to sustainability and protecting nature in the region.
