Story · Murinsel

  • en
  • nl

You're standing on the bank of the Mur in Graz, and right in the middle of the river sits something you don't see every day: a floating island. This is the Murinsel, which simply means Mur Island. It isn't a natural island at all. It's an artificial structure floating on the water, linking the two banks of the river.
