Carinthian Lakes

Wonderful beaches, countless hours of sunshine and an indescribable joy for life makes this a fantastic cycling loop tour. Enjoy unforgettable moments on the bike paths along Lake Ossaiach, Lake Faak, Lake Klopein and, of course, Lake Wörthersee.

You should pay particular attention to the beautiful Drau Cycle Path. That’s why we have produced two stunning cycle tours. The Drau Cycle Path Classic takes you from the East Tyrolean town of Lienz to the Klopeiner See. The cycle tour Eisacktal & Drau Cycle Path, however, starts in the golden city of Innsbruck and leads you through beautiful South Tyrol to Villach. Both trips are worth booking.

What our guests say

We travelled through Carinthia by bike for the first time in consistently bright sunshine. Our résumé: Great nature and excellent cycle paths that were easy for us to cycle. It is very positive to emphasise that the accommodation was in places worth seeing, which also had a lot to offer in the off-season. [...]

Gisela L.

Beautiful route along the Alpe-Adria and Drau cycle paths. [...] And despite the weather, we recovered well and had a great holiday. When I had questions during the booking process, the team always helped me in a friendly and competent manner, and we were also very satisfied with the organisation on site.

Marcel K.

This was a unique cycle tour, with many impressions that you won't forget so quickly. The overall organisation, the hotels etc. were all excellent.

Useful information about your cycle tour in Carinthia

The climate in Carinthia

Carinthia is said to have an almost Mediterranean climate. Carinthia certainly has the reputation of an almost southern region due to the very warm and sunny summer months, which also benefits us cyclists. But even if Carinthia has ‘only’ a temperate Central European climate, it is one of our favourite regions for cycling.

The Carinthian cuisine

Where better to eat fish than at the source? Carinthia has a lot of lakes, and therefore delights the fish-lovers among us with many creative recipes. Carinthia’s most famous dish, however, actually has nothing to do with fish. Of course we are talking about the famous ‘Kärntner Kasnudeln’, or Carinthian cheese pasta. Contrary to what the name suggests, this is not pasta in a cheese sauce, but dumplings stuffed with quark, potatoes, mint and chervil and finely fried and served in brown butter. You must try this delicacy at least once!

The Villach Carnival

The Austrian answer to the Cologne Carnival is the Villach ‘Fasching’ (Carnival). The words ‘Lei Lei’ are connected with the famous carnival and it’s well known to every Austrian. It is the Carnival greeting of the fools. Every year on Carnival Saturday, the whole city is the scene of the most colourful parade in Austria. The famous Villach Carnival is broadcast on television every year.

Did you know …

that the highest mountain in Austria, the Grossglockner, is in Carinthia?
that the name Carinthia (Kärnten) is Celtic and means ‘Land of friends’? But it may also have been derived from the Celtic term karanto. The meaning would be stone or rock.
that all Carinthian lakes are drinking water quality?
that there are over 1200 lakes in Carinthia?
