TO SWIM
"Standing on the banks of the Mur in the early morning, no music, no hustle and bustle – just headlamps, frogs croaking, and an honest countdown. Swimming in the Mur at dawn was pure bliss for me as a good swimmer – and an experience I will never forget."
Christoph Grün, Finisher
"Cold. Wild. Unforgettable.
The Mur awaits."
The Mur, a river in the heart of Austria
The Mur flows through Austria, Slovenia, Croatia and Hungary and constitutes also partly the border between these four states.
You have to swim 3.8 km in the Mur - there of 2.0 km on the right bank downstream and 1.8 km on the left bank upstream. Upstream you will feel the current;
generally you will feel the extreme coldness of 14 to 18 degrees water temperature.
The swimming distance will end in a branch of the Mur at Thondorf.
