Feu­er und Eis part­ner tour

Alpe-Adria ral­ly

from 849,- per person

Start­ing from Vil­lach, you can enjoy won­derful cycling excur­si­ons to the sur­roun­ding lakes and val­leys. Well-main­tai­ned cycle paths lead along the Drau and Gail rivers through unspoi­led natu­re to breath­ta­king views of the sur­roun­ding moun­ta­ins. The num­e­rous lakes pro­vi­de refresh­ment after a climb or two. It’s not just Lake Wör­ther­see with its crys­tal-clear water that invi­tes you to take a break on its shores. The les­ser-known lakes in par­ti­cu­lar have many a hid­den bathing spot to offer in addi­ti­on to drin­king water qua­li­ty. Stroll through the old towns of Vil­lach, Kla­gen­furt and Spit­tal and mar­vel at the Renais­sance faça­des of the town hou­ses. The sun shi­nes bright­ly with you here in Aus­tria’s sou­thern­most province.

You reach the Keutschach lake val­ley through a char­ming, gent­ly undu­la­ting land­scape. Some­ti­mes a dre­a­my way­si­de shri­ne cat­ches the eye, some­ti­mes a farm deco­ra­ted with flowers. The Haf­ner­see, the Keutscha­cher See, the Baß­gei­gen­see and the Rau­sche­le­see are grou­ped around the bathing resort of Keutschach.
