Pleasure cycling along the great Carinthia lakes loop
8
Days
DESCRIPTION:
Seven stunning lakes in seven days of cycling! Our lake cycling tour along the great Carinthian Lakes Loop connects the most beautiful Carinthian lakes and is a unique experience for leisurely cyclists. The steepest climb to the natural gem of Lake Weissensee is comfortably covered by bus. After a boat trip, the route descends continuously. Along the way, the crystal-clear waters of the pleasantly warm, magnificent lakes beckon for a refreshing swim. The route follows well-maintained and marked cycle paths along Carinthian lakes such as Lake Millstatt, Lake Ossiach, and Lake Wörthersee, as well as the Drava Cycle Path , for 90% of the way. Short connecting sections are on country roads. To allow ample time for the numerous highlights and sights, we recommend using an e-bike.

Spittal - Weissensee - Millstätter See, approx. 55 km
Your tour begins with a comfortable transfer to the eastern shore of the beautiful, fjord-like Weissensee, which lies at an elevation of 930 meters. You'll cross the protected lake on the "Alpenperle" scheduled boat, then saddle up on your bikes. From the western shore, you'll cycle downhill to the Drau Cycle Path and via Greifenburg and Spittal an der Drau to the popular bathing lake, Lake Millstatt.

Millstätter See - Feldsee - Afritzer See - Ossiacher See, approx. 60 km
You continue cycling along the beautiful Lake Millstatt to Radenthein, where a visit to the Garnet Gems Adventure World is highly recommended. You then pass the two small bathing lakes, Feldsee and Afritzer See, which are ideal for a relaxing rest before reaching Lake Ossiach.

Ossiacher See - Wörthersee - Krumpendorf, approx. 45 km
Today is dedicated to Lake Ossiach and Lake Wörthersee, and you can also add additional kilometers of cycling along the lakeside cycle paths. At Lake Ossiach, for example, Ossiach Abbey, the Domenig Stone House, and the Bleistätter Moor Nature Reserve are worth seeing. The tour continues to the fashionable Wörthersee, where you can take a break at a beach café in the famous town of Velden and stroll between the casino and Velden Castle.

Following the cycle and railway path and Grafenstein, you'll reach the Drava Cycle Path and the large, tranquil Völkermarkt Reservoir, Carinthia's third-largest body of water. Cycle past idyllic natural harbors and fishing boats to Lake Klopeiner See, the warmest bathing lake in Europe.

On this and the next day, you'll cycle back along the Drau Cycle Path, mostly on causeways. Enjoy the peace and quiet of the natural surroundings offered by the Drau River in the beautiful Rosental Valley. If the route is too long for you, you can shorten it by taking the train via Klagenfurt and cycling to Villach, for example, along the Wörthersee South Shore Cycle Path or the Keutschacher See Cycle Path via Velden. Once you arrive in Villach, be sure to enjoy the atmosphere of the Mediterranean-inspired main square.

On the final day of cycling, you'll cycle along the Drau Cycle Path via Paternion back to your starting point in Spittal an der Drau. Alternatively, you can take a detour to the small, vibrant turquoise-green Lake Faak, take a swim, or cycle around it, and perhaps return to Spittal an der Drau by train.
