Murtal District, Administrative district in Styria, Austria
Description
Murtal District is an administrative region in Styria covering several municipalities with Judenburg serving as its administrative center. The area includes towns like Knittelfeld and Zeltweg, spread across rolling terrain at roughly 714 meters elevation.
History
This district was formed in 2012 by merging the former Judenburg and Knittelfeld districts as part of Styria's administrative reorganization. The merger brought multiple communities under a unified administrative structure that continues to serve the region today.
Culture
The communities here celebrate their rural roots through festivals that showcase traditional crafts and local music throughout the year. You can experience how these towns value and keep their regional customs alive in everyday gatherings and seasonal events.
Practical
The district has an integrated transportation network with regular bus and train services connecting all major communities. Visitors can move between towns and explore the region relatively easily thanks to these established connections.
Did you know?
The region comprises thirty-eight distinct municipalities, each maintaining its own local council despite being part of the unified district. This variety of smaller towns working together under one administration reflects how the Austrian system balances local independence with regional coordination.
