The natural paradise directly on the Drau cycle path

Vacation in Paternion

Charming Paternion in the lower Drau Valley lies on the Drau Cycle Path and is close to many excursion destinations. A perfect starting point for adventurers and active people - between glistening waters and majestic mountains.

The Drau Cycle Path stretches over 520 kilometers and can be completed in stages. The third section of the long-distance cycle path leads directly through Paternion. The heated local outdoor pool provides pleasant refreshment in between.

Do not miss

  • Ride the Drau ferry: A unique nature experience, very close to the water - between May and September, the Drau ferry runs between Lansach and Feffernitz and connects the municipalities of Weißenstein and Paternion.
  • Experience the pleasure of art: The "Grünspan" art association revitalizes a former stable building in Paternion with contemporary art. The fascinating "Himmelstreppe von Pöllan" invites you to marvel and dream.
  • Fishing in the Drau: A fishing area rich in fish stretches for around ten kilometers along the Drau, with rainbow trout as the main catch.
