Your cycling holiday starts with a circumnavigation of the Ossiacher See, whose cycle path mostly runs directly on the shore. On the way, numerous attractions invite you to take a break: the baroque collegiate church in Ossiach, a trout station for lunch, the nature reserve Pencilätter Moor and the famous stone house in Bodensdorf.

You cycle along the Seebach to the Drau and on the Drauradweg to Rosegg. Here you can visit Carinthia's most diverse zoo or the wax museum in Rosegg Castle. We continue to the famous Velden am Wörthersee, where the beach promenade with its numerous cafes invites you to stroll.

Enjoy the wonderful atmosphere of this famous turquoise bathing lake on your bike tour around the Wörthersee. Take time for a bathing break in one of the numerous bathing beaches or take a boat trip, either with the liner or a small electric boat.

Before you leave the Wörthersee, you should make a detour to the Carinthian capital Klagenfurt. Visit the beautiful old town with its famous landmark, the Lindwurm, or take a trip around the world in the Minimundus adventure park. Driving through the beautiful, natural Rosental valley, you finally reach Europe's warmest bathing lake, the Klopeiner See, on the Drauradweg.

After circumnavigating the Klopeiner See, we recommend a round trip to the Turner See and Gösselsdorfer See as far as Bleiburg. Follow the art cycle path and visit, for example, the Werner-Berg Museum, Bleiburg Castle or the Kiki-Kogelnik-Brunnen before plunging back into the warm waters of Lake Klopein in the afternoon.
