You will arrive at your hotel in Villach. Parking spaces available close to the hotel.

In the morning you take the train to Lendorf near Spittal a.d. Drau. From there you cycle on secondary roads to Lake Millstatt, which is completely surrounded by a cycle path. You will discover the untouched south shore without any roads where you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the lake in many places. Along the northern shore you cycle, partly directly along the lake, to the capital of the region, Millstatt am See. Already the Austrian emperor spent his holidays here, and many elegant villas from this era are still preserved.

In the morning, a shuttle bus takes you up to the lake Weißensee. Once on the top you have time to enjoy the impressive natural surroundings of the lake. Take a boat trip (ticket incl.), a short hike or a swim. Afterwards a short ascent awaits you before descending along the dreamy Gitschtal valley to your stage destination.

Your cycle tour today takes you downhill throughout, along the Gailtal cycle path. The wide valley is unspoilt and the cycle path runs right through the natural landscape along the river. At the beginning of your cycle tour you will pass the Pressegger See lake. Like all Carinthian lakes, it is a bathing lake with warm temperatures. Part of the tour then leads before Villach at the foot of the majestic Dobratsch mountain through a nature reserve that was created in the course of a historic rock fall. Here, too, you cycle directly along the Gail River, which is wide and shallow at this point and used as a bathing spot by many nature lovers. The cycle path continues towards Lake Faak. It is the emerald among the Carinthian lakes, not very big, but very warm and turquoise like the Caribbean.

In the morning you start at Faakersee and then cycle a short distance along the Drau towards Lake Wörthersee. Before reaching Velden am Wörthersee you turn into the idyllic Kreutschacher Seental, which lies parallel to the Wörthersee and is characterized by several charming little lakes that form a string of pearls along your route. Your stage destination today is the capital of the region, Klagenfurt. The old town is characterized by its Renaissance buildings and southern atmosphere. Small bars and shops contribute to the beautiful atmosphere of the town. Culture lovers should visit the Museum of Modern Arts, while history lovers should visit the newly designed Carinthian Museum. Those who prefer to take a panoramic view of the city must go to the city parish tower.

The short tour to Lake Klopeinersee takes you directly from Klagenfurt to southern Carinthia and back along the same route. The round tour is a little further but more rewarding. Past the imposing pilgrimage Church of Maria Rain, the route descends over the Ferlach power station to the Drau cycle path. Follow this until Tainach, the tours continues then via Stein im Jaunta to Lake Klopeiner See. This is one of the smallest lakes but it is considered one of the warmest in Europe. You will cycle back along the Völkermarkt reservoir and then on a direct route to Klagenfurt.

The first part of the stage will take you along the northern shore of Lake Wörthersee, then you will go back along the Drau cycle path and past the Lake Silbersee towards Villach – the starting point of your cycling tour.
