Bridge over the Gail River

Highlight • Bridge

In the southwest of Carinthia, families prefer to cycle along the "R3" Gailtal cycle path. This approximately 90 km long bike ride runs parallel to the Italian border and is clearly marked with green signs and white ground markings. Children and parents ride along the Gail, cycle through small villages and past old farms. The wildly romantic Gailtal cycle path impresses with the surrounding mountains of the Carnic and Gailtal Alps.

Vorderberg

Highlight • Settlement

Vorderberg is a village in the picturesque Gailtal. Surrounded by the impressive mountains of the Carnic Alps, it is a great starting point for beautiful bike tours on the surrounding pastures. In the village itself, you can strengthen yourself again - even mentally: The pilgrimage church "Maria in Graben" is really worth seeing. It is as it were as a place of rest, as well as a postcard postcard suitable.

Looks like a small mountain village you only see in movies or read about in novels - well worth a visit!

View of Dellacher Alm

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Dellacher Alm is a particularly beautiful retreat for anyone who wants to escape from everyday life and recharge their batteries offline in the middle of the mountains. Nature alone provides entertainment. In the Pipp family's alpine inn, guests are pampered with regional specialties.

A beautiful piece of landscape! In the middle of a small, flat valley lies a marshy lake surrounded by a sparse stand of trees.

Today, the family cycled to Vorderberg. From there, we took the road to the Koutschitz Alm and then on to the Dellacher and Egger Alm. We returned on the other side, heading towards the Granitzenklamm Gorge and the campsite in Hermagor.

Up to the first bend it is very gentle and up to the second it is strenuous, but then it goes rather steadily up to the Koutschitzer Alm. You should be in good shape, otherwise you can only do it by pushing your bike or using an e-bike.

HP 8 E-Bike Tour from Hermagor 600m Möderndorf to EggerAlm 1440m, further to Dellacher Alm-Koutschitzalm-Vorderberg then Gail cycle path back to Möderndorf 40 km 1000m hm

From Hermagor on the R3a and the R3 along the Gail to Vorderberg. Steep ramps lead over asphalt to the Kautschitzalm (S 12) and on through the Kesselwaldgraben. From the junction to Dellacher and Eggeralm it goes steeply uphill over gravel and stones (short sliding passage for me) over the HP8. Over the saddle to the Dellacher Alm, Egger Alm …
