A very beautiful Marterl (waymarker shrine) by the roadside, with a good view of the Faakersee and Mittagskogel/Karawankenberge.

In St. Jakob im Kärntner Rosental, the new Paulifurtbrücke bridge over the Rosenbach was realized as a trough-shaped frame bridge. For the bridge with a span of 32 m, the crossbeams were made of prestressed UHPC elements. The use of thin-walled, yet highly robust UHPC components subsumed the necessity of geometric stiffness in the structural design. Thus, special emphasis could be placed on the aesthetic aspects.

In the dammed Drau river, you can also swim wonderfully along the entire tour and enjoy a refreshing water temperature of 20° C until late summer

It originates in Toblach, at Toblacher Feld, near the Neunergruppe, and then flows east through East Tyrol, Carinthia, Lower Styria, Slovenia, Croatia, and Hungary. Finally, the Drau flows into the Black Sea together with the Danube.
