Ral­ly Car­in­thi­an Lakes — Cate­go­ry A

Pri­ce on request

The well-deve­lo­ped cycle paths around the lakes are ide­al for lei­su­re cyclists and fami­lies. The regi­on in the south of Aus­tria with its Medi­ter­ra­ne­an cli­ma­te has almost 200 lakes, some of which you will explo­re. The spe­cial loca­ti­on on the bor­der with Slove­nia and Ita­ly makes two gre­at day tours pos­si­ble: First­ly, you will cycle the famous Alpe Adria cycle path with pro­ba­b­ly the most spec­ta­cu­lar sec­tion on the old rail­road line from Tar­vi­sio to Ven­zo­ne. The second tour leads from Kran­js­ka Gora, the Kitz­bü­hel of Slove­nia, also on an old rail­road line to Ita­ly and back to Aus­tria. The start­ing point for this trip is the small, dre­a­my Faa­ker See lake near Vil­lach. From the­re, the day tours lead to Lake Wör­ther­see and the pro­vin­cial capi­tal of Kla­gen­furt, Lake Pres­se­g­ger See, Lake Ossia­cher See and the Alpe Adria regi­on — a won­derful cycle tour with the high­lights of the regi­on. The Car­in­thi­an Lakes ral­ly is a cycle tour for ever­yo­ne. On most­ly asphal­ted cycle paths with no gra­di­ents to speak of and at the end of the day you can enjoy the sun­set by the lake.
