+ More information 

On the sou­thern side of the Alps, the lei­su­re­ly Drau Cycle Path runs for 510 km from Dob­bia­co in South Tyrol to Varaz­din in Croa­tia along the river of the same name, the Dra­va. On the sec­tion from Dob­bia­co to Lake Klo­pei­ner See, you cycle along the Aus­tri­an part of the long-distance cycle rou­te in Car­in­thia. Sou­thern sere­ni­ty and joie de viv­re, cul­tu­ral wealth and authen­tic cui­sine await you on the rou­te through sou­thern Car­in­thia. Various lakes along the way invi­te you to rest and swim. The Drau Cycle Path starts spec­ta­cu­lar­ly in the midd­le of the Dolo­mi­tes not far from the world-famous “Three Peaks”. The rou­te of the cycle path leads through rural cul­tu­ral land­scapes and small vil­la­ges, past Lienz, Spit­tal an der Drau, Vil­lach and Ferlach/St.Margareten. The ADFC (All­ge­mei­ner Deut­scher Fahr­rad-Club) has award­ed the Aus­tri­an sec­tion of the Drau cycle path the hig­hest rating of 5 stars. Fur­ther infor­ma­ti­on on the award can be found here.
