The Prealps East of the Mur (German: Randgebirge östlich der Mur) are the easternmost mountain range of the Central Eastern Alps. They comprise the eastern foothills of the Alpine crest beyond the Mur river and the adjacent southeastern Alpine Foreland .

Boundary and neighbouring ranges

According to the Alpine Club classification of the Eastern Alps (AVE), the boundaries of the Prealps East of the Mur are as follows:[1]

The border with the Northern Limestone Alps runs from the Vienna Woods in the northeast along the edge of the Gutenstein Alps, following the line from the Steinfeld basin via Neunkirchen to Ternitz. It continues along the southeastern edge of the Rax-Schneeberg Group, from Ternitz to Gloggnitz, Schottwien and over the Semmering Pass to Mürzzuschlag in the Mürz valley. From here, the border runs along the edge of the Mürzsteg Alps up to Bruck an der Mur in the west.
The western border runs along the edge of the Lavanttal Alps, separated by the River Mur from Bruck an der Mur via Graz as far as Spielfeld in the south.
The southeastern boundary is vague, but roughly runs along the Hungarian Plain and Neusiedler See via Bruck an der Leitha to the Vienna Basin.

gollark: I think it would make more sense to just make it try and minimize cost (in the sense of resource expenditure or something) to do/make whatever the player sets.

gollark: Um, anyway, I'll go fill it out, but I think this is kind of approaching it from the wrong angle.

gollark: Er, robots. Not turtles. Though turtles are much easier to deal with, actually, for that.

gollark: Oh, you know what would be cool and is... kind of related to this? Self-replicating turtles!

gollark: And shouldn't it just do generalized "go mining", or risk going up and down a lot and wasting fuel?
