Cable Railway & Bike - Gerlitzen Summit - Ossiacher See

This scenic biking tour begins at the foot of the Gerlitzen alps with a gondola ride.  After purchasing a ticket for both sections of the tour, the gondola and the chairlift (including bike transport), you take the gondola to 1410 beautiful meters above sea level, then take the chairlift to the peak at 1911 meters where a breathtaking panoramic view awaits.

After getting off the lift, take an immediate left to follow “Schotterstrasse” (a dirt road) to “Berggasthof Pacheiner,” a restaurant/inn.  The descent begins right behind the inn, going over the “Gipfelstrasse” (summit road) of Gerlitzen, over the “Stifterboden,” all the way through to Arriach without any significant turns.  You stay on the “Mautstrasse” (turnpike) until it ends at the L46 “Teuchern Landesstrasse” which you ride downwards to “Millstaetter Bundesstrasse” (B98), where you take a left towards “Innere Einöde.”

From here you take the R2b bike path towards “Ossiacher See.”  The bike path leads you through Treffen then later through Neudorf, where you cross “Ossiacher See Strasse” by Billa towards the “Unterführung,” or underpass.  Before the underpass you take a right and follow the bike path further towards “Ausfluss Ossiacher See.”  Shortly before the bridge, the path goes north along “St. Andraer Strasse.”  You must cross St. Andraer Strasse again at the campground.  After a few minutes you will arrive at the starting point of the tour on the shores of “Ossiacher See,” or Lake Ossiach.  From the shore there is a railway crossing back to the parking lot.
