The circular route is very varied. Sometimes a well-maintained flat path, sometimes over roots or over hill and dale. It never gets boring. There are always wonderful views of the other bank and each one is very beautiful in its own way.

Here, a unique view of the Wörthersee and the panorama behind it opens up. You can see from the Karawanken to the Julian Alps and the Villacher Alpe. There are 2 very nice seating areas for several people to enjoy the mountain panorama and the Velden Bay from above. Unfortunately, you can hear the motorway that runs below. But with this panorama, you can ignore it quite well 😉. Be a little careful, there are also warning signs regarding the risk of falling. But if you keep your distance from the abyss, there is no danger. Otherwise, there is a large information board with the names of the mountains in front of you.
