September 15, 2023,Von Hermagor nach Villach

And we continue on the Gailtal cycle path towards Villach. Today it's a bit cloudy. We can only guess at the Dobrash. Nevertheless, this route has its charm.
In the afternoon we board the train from Villach to Linz. Here we start our second cycling adventure from Linz to Maxen near Dresden on Saturday via the Vltava Cycle Path and …

Unfortunately, the trouser pocket ended the tour at the hut. But we still continue on to Kötschach.

June 8, 2026,🚴‍♂️ (A) Kärnten: Gailtalradweg Hermagor - Arnoldstein - Faakersee 🌞

Very easy-to-ride e-bike group tour in the Gailtal valley downhill, mostly on the official Carinthia cycle route.
We have been travelling in Carinthia for a week now (with Twerenbold Veloreisen). Group participants between 60-85 years old, so a predominantly senior group.
My battery consumption for this tour was 20% (some driven off-road).

With the Carinthian adventure card, you can take your bike for free from OssiacherSee to Hermagor
Then it's all slightly downhill back to OssiacherSee, highly recommended
