Leisure bike rides

Discover the region in a leisurely manner - on a pleasure bike ride in and around Villach. The most beautiful routes are the cycle paths along the rivers and lakes, such as the Drau cycle path or the Ossiacher See cycle path. If you would like to see more of Carinthia, it is best to cycle the Carinthian Lake Loop, an about 400 km bike tour around 20 of the most beautiful Carinthian lakes.

Optimal for a cycling excursion are also our mobility offers, such as bike buses, which are discounted with the Erlebnis CARD. Also many trains and the Ossiacher See Schifffahrt can be used for a cycling excursion.

Drau cycle path

From the world-famous Drei Zinnen at Toblach, you cycle along the Drau to the sunny town of Lienz, from the river jewel Obere Drau to the cultural town of Spittal. You continue from vibrant Villach to the landscape garden of Rosental and from the gunsmith town Ferlach to the dreamy Jauntal. From the border towns Lavamünd and Dravograd to the university town Maribor.

Alpe-Adria cycle path

The Alpe-Adria cycle path is a so-called long-distance cycle path around 410 kilometres long, leading from Salzburg via the Alps to Grado on the Adriatic. The cycle path connects exceptionally beautiful holiday destinations and of course the Villach region is part of it. Most of the way is along cycle paths and the signposting is good and uniform.
