Schattensee, Krakau A natural jewel of a special kind is the Schattensee. It captivates with its untouched, tranquil, and above all romantic surroundings. During a walk around the lake, you can enjoy the Krakau mountain landscape. A very special highlight is the water disc shooting at the Schattensee. The bullet ricocheting off the water surface must hit the cardboard disc hanging above the water. The distance is 107 meters and the center of the disc is 50 cm above the water level. The unique experience is available for groups of 25 or more people by prior telephone arrangement from May to October. Upon request, individuals can also participate in a shooting session. Inquiries regarding water disc shooting please directly to: Union Krakauer Scheibenschützenverein Mr. Marcel Macheiner, Tel. +43 664 5936 782 Email: macheiner.marcel@gmail.com Text / Source: Tourismusverband Murau, Liechtensteinstraße 3-5, Murau https://www.steiermark.com/de/Murau/Urlaub-planen/Ausflugsziele/Schattensee_isd_297928

Pfarrkirche St. Oswald in Krakaudorf, Krakau The current parish church of Krakaudorf was first mentioned in documents in 1234 as a chapel. In 1427 it was named as a church and in 1445 as a branch church of Ranten. In 1892, the St. Oswald vicariate was established as a parish. The church was built in the 14th century. The choir area was rebuilt between 1759 and 1764 by Franz Jager. The north wall is considered the oldest part of the house of worship, the wooden coffered ceiling with rosette pattern was donated in 1534 by Georg von Liechtenstein. The branch church St. Ulrich in Krakauhintermühlen is a Styrian gem and houses a Gothic winged altarpiece.

Lake Prebersee lies at an elevation of 1,514 meters in the middle of a moorland and nature reserve. It covers approximately 5.4 hectares and is up to 10 meters deep. Its dark brown, peaty water is particularly notable.

Many people take photos of the Preber's reflection in the lake. However, something even more spectacular takes place here in the summer: water target shooting. Instead of aiming directly at a target, the shooter aims at its reflection in the water. The projectile is then supposed to ricochet off the water's surface and hit the target. Anyone interested can inquire at the Kraków municipal office.
