DESCRIPTION:

This family bike tour is something very special and will remain unforgettable. Explore the beautiful river landscape of the Drau together with your children, make a new discovery after the next bend, and have time to play and swim in between. The Drau cycle path, which has been awarded 5 stars by the ADFC, is particularly family-friendly. The stage lengths of around 30 km per day offer the pedal riders enough time for variety and adventure. Once you have reached your destination, you can choose from swimming fun in the bright turquoise-green Faaker See, the small Silbersee or the Ossiacher See. If the worst comes to the worst, individual sections of the route can simply be covered using the parallel railway.
