JUST DRIVE TOUR
A tour through the beautiful landscapes of Carinthia. Starting from Lake Faak, we drive via Villach, through the Krastal (famous for its white marble), the connection between the Drau Valley and the Gegendtal, to the center of Carinthia, to Arriach. Passing the Gerlitzen, the road leads us via Himmelberg to Feldkirchen.
The route continues through the narrow Gurk valley along the Gurktaler Bundesstraรe to Weitensfeld and on to Gurk Cathedral. For centuries, Gurk was the episcopal seat of the Gurk diocese. Soon we see Strassburg Castle and from there we take a winding and somewhat narrower road via Gunzenberg to St. Georgen am Lรคngsee.
After the pilgrimage site of Maria Saal with its famous St. Mary's Church, we ride back to the Harley-Davidsonยฎ Motodrom via Karnburg - home to the oldest church in Carinthia and the Wรถrthersee.
A LITTLE BIT OF HEAVEN
The route leads past the boggy Aichwaldsee lake into the Lower Gailtal valley, close to the border triangle of Austria, Slovenia and Italy. After Feistritz an der Gail, we ride past Nรถtsch. We continue via Bad Bleiberg, with the Dobratsch next to us, towards Villach. We ride along the Drau to Spittal an der Drau with the famous Porcia Castle.
One story tells that the hard-hearted Countess Salamanca has still not found peace and still haunts the castle. We come to another natural jewel, Lake Millstatt. Lake Millstรคtter See is the second largest lake in Carinthia, surrounded by mountains. Along its shores we come to Radenthein and on to Feld am See with its emerald green Brennsee lake.
Through the Gegendtal valley, surrounded by the Nockberge mountains, we also pass Lake Afritz - an Eldorado for fishermen. We pass the Ossiachersee and take the south shore road along the shore of the Wรถrthersee to Klagenfurt to the Harley-Davidson Motodrom.
ADVANTAGE CARINTHIA TOUR
A pleasant and relaxing tour through the regions of Lower and Central Carinthia. On around 180 km you will experience the beauty and advantages of biking in Carinthia. Starting from Lake Faak, the route leads via Rosegg, Velden and Ludmannsdorf along the Drau through the sunny Rosental valley. Through the gunsmith town of Ferlach, past the Wildensteiner waterfall, one of the highest free-falling waterfalls in Europe, we ride our bikes to Vรถlkermarkt.
The route continues along a well-maintained road to Diex. Diex has the reputation of being the sunniest municipality in Austria at 1159 m above sea level with an average of 2300 hours of sunshine. We continue via Brรผckl to the historic town of St. Veit an der Glan, which was the capital of Carinthia until 1518. The last section of our ride takes us via Liebenfels back to Lake Wรถrthersee with the Motodrom Harley-Davidson as our destination.
