Family bike tour on the Drau Cycle Path

Berg im Drautal - Sachsenburg, approx. 28 km

Shortly after starting your cycling tour on the Drau Cycle Path, a first great adventure awaits the whole family in Greifenburg: a climbing park and the opportunity to fly over a small bathing lake on a "Flying Fox" zip line. Continue cycling at a leisurely pace and admire the natural scenery along the banks of the Drau River before reaching your destination for the day in Sachsenburg.

Today you continue cycling along the Drau Cycle Path and pass Roman excavations in Lendorf, where you can also visit the Teurnia Roman Museum. In Spittal an der Drau, the beautiful Renaissance Porcia Castle with its castle park is worth a visit, before you can enjoy a lovely outdoor swimming pool in Paternion.

Paternion - Villach, approx. 29 km

The route of the Drau cycle path leads directly along the natural river bank from one side to the other. At your destination for the day, the Mediterranean-style old town of Villach, you can reward your children with a delicious Italian gelati in one of the numerous ice cream shops. A visit to the spacious Kärnten Therme in Warmbad Villach is also a hot tip.
