The pure joy of cycling: Travelling light by bike through Austria’s sunny south – past blue and turquoise lakes, embedded in the dreamlike hill and mountain landscape on the border to Italy and Slovenia. Depending on time and fitness, the 340-kilometre, varied route can be divided into as many stages as you like. Ideally you should plan at least one week for the entire tour. This leaves enough time to enjoy the warm bathing lakes, the countryside and interesting things along the way. There are many places to stay along the route for cyclists with varied tastes and budgets. The tour is also ideal for e-bikes.
