Description

The Carinthia Lakes roundtrip is an approx. 400 km long cycle tour to the most beautiful lakes of Carinthia. Past blue and turquoise lakes, accompanied by a hilly and mountainous landscape, the route fascinates with a varied landscape. The Mediterranean influence in the south of Austria makes cycling a pleasure from April to October. The sportive or e-bike tour is a cycling tour for sporty, more ambitious and more experienced cyclists. There are some ascents to overcome and the route also leads along roads with heavier traffic for several kilometres in some sections. The cycle tour takes you from Villach, the cycling capital of Carinthia, to Lake Ossiacher See, Lake Millstätter See, Lake Weißensee, Lake Pressegger See, Lake Faaker See and Lake Wörthersee. The wellknown Drava cycle path (awarded with 5 stars by the ADFC) takes you to Lake Klopeiner See and via the provincial capital of Klagenfurt back to Villach.   

Characteristics of the Route

This tour leads mostly on well laid out bicycle routes, often directly along the lakesides. In some sections the route leads along federal roads without a cycle path. In addition, there is a long slope on the route to Lake Weißensee to overcome (transfer optional). The rest of the route is mainly flat, sometimes slightly hilly. The route is ideal for E-bikes.
