Experience three beautiful tours with the H.O.G. Carinthia Chapter at European Bike Week
The H.O.G. Carinthia Chapter Tours 2022
The H.O.G. Carinthia Chapter has put together three fantastic tours, which they organize for you and the region. You must register for each tour using the form, as there are naturally limited places available. It's great fun to ride together in a large group with Harley-Davidson bikers.
As in previous years, the H.O.G. Carinthia Chapter three: three fantastic tours through beautiful Carinthia. The Harley tours are calculated to take around three hours of pure riding time, and all three will be around 180 kilometers long.
There's hardly anything better than being guided through the beautiful countryside by local biker friends.
These are the official tours of European Bike Week, organized in cooperation with the Harley-Davidson Authorized dealer Motodrom from Klagenfurt.
The tours start on all three days at Harley Village near the gas station.

A tour through the beautiful landscapes of Carinthia.
A tour through the beautiful landscapes of Carinthia. Starting at Lake Faaker See, we drive via Villach, past Fresach with its famous honorary citizen, Olympic champion and world champion Franz Klammer, to Lake Millstätter See. Surrounded by the Nockberge Mountains, the journey continues via Radenthein to Bad Kleinkirchheim.
Unfortunately, we don't have time for a long hike in the heart of the Nockberge Mountains. We drive through the upper Gurktal valley via Gnesau and Himmelberg to Feldkirchen. We are not going to Klagenfurt yet, but are staying in the rural regions. Via Karnburg, home to Carinthia's oldest church, we travel through the pilgrimage town of Maria Saal with its famous Marienkirche church to Mittertrixen and on to Völkermarkt. Through the Jauntal valley, past Lake Klopeiner See, the route takes us over the Radsberg back to the Harley-Davidson® Motodrom.

- Departure at 10:00 a.m.
- Total length of the tour: approx. 190 km

TOUR 2 – DAMN WELL TOUR
September 8, 2022
A challenging and demanding tour across the border from Austria to Slovenia.
I know you can do it! A challenging and demanding tour across the border from Austria to Slovenia.
A narrow, winding road takes us over the Wurzen Pass to Kranjska Gora. The route to one of Slovenia's most beautiful lakes, Lake Bled near the spa town of Bled, is a little more leisurely. Unfortunately, there won't be time to enjoy an original Bled cream slice, as we continue along challenging roads to the southernmost point of our tour, Škofja Loka. Via Kranje and Tržič, we head back towards Austria. Another challenge lies ahead:
The Loibl Pass. The Alpine pass over the Karawanken mountains takes you back to Austria. Passing the Tscheppa Gorge and crossing the Drau River, we reach our destination, the Motodrom Harley-Davidson®, after about 5.5 hours.
Important: Don't forget your ID card or passport.
- Setup from 9:00 a.m. in Faak
- Departure at 10:00 a.m.
- Total length of the tour: approx. 200 km
- Travel time: approx. 5.5 hours
