DESCRIPTION:

On this enjoyable bike tour, you can get to know the beautiful surroundings of the Carinthian National Park region Hohe Tauern as well as the wonderful bathing lakes in the border triangle of Villach. You will stay in a bike hotel for 3 nights and can go on day trips every day as you please. From your first location in Sachsenburg, you can, for example, take trips along the Drau cycle path to Oberdrauburg or along the Alpe-Adria cycle path to Obervellach or Mallnitz. For the outward journey, we suggest using the S-Bahn to save time and energy. You should definitely not miss the trip around the nearby picturesque Lake Millstatt. The Drau cycle path then continues to Villach, where you will stay in your second accommodation for 2 days. The lively city offers cycle paths in all directions and you can go on very attractive bike tours. A classic is the trip around the nearby bathing lakes, Lake Ossiach and the turquoise-green Lake Faak.
