After a lovely circuit around Lake Klopeiner See, today’s stage has the River Drau in its sights. The route leads predominantly along the famous Drau cycle path, which is one of four cycle routes that was awarded the title ‘ADFC 5-star quality cycle route’ in 2016. Here you can enjoy the relaxed ride along the riverbank – past rocks, castles and reservoirs. In the Rosental hiking region, you will pass through the gunsmith town of Ferlach. In one of the many Drau loops lies the elegant Rosegg Castle with its impressive garden, maze and animal park. From here, it is just a few kilometres to stylish Velden am Wörthersee.

Der folgende Abschnitt ist mit Sicherheit der abwechslungsreichste (52 km) dieser Radtour. Hier liegen viele Seen in Reichweite und Ausflüge zum Wörther See und Faaker See zahlen sich besonders aus. Noch bevor Sie die Fundstelle von hallstattzeitlichen Gräbern bei Rosegg erreichen, sollten Sie ihr Glück auch im Casino Velden versuchen. Der Drauradweg führt Sie größtenteils nun auf gut befahrbaren Dammwegen durch das bezaubernde Rosental. Beeindruckende Felsen, Burgen und Seen sorgen für landschaftliche Abwechslung. Ein Highlight ist das Etappenziel, die Büchsenmacherstadt Ferlach.

The most uphill stretches of the Carinthian Lake Loop are behind you. Today is a leisurely tour along the Gailtal cycle path on the borders to Italy and Slovenia back towards the east. The crystal clear water of the River Gail murmurs along next to the cycle path, and the views of the striking Dobratsch mountain with its radio tower at the summit are breathtaking. The destination of the day is the turquoise, glistening Lake Faaker See. Initially, the route leads to the southern end with views of the island and its nostalgic hotel, then continues along the eastern shore to Egg am Faaker See.
