Enjoy the wonderful mountain lake panorama on the sunny southern side of the Alps, feel the scent of the regional Carinthian Alps-Adriatic cuisine in your nose and bathe in one of the warm lakes that are clean enough to drink from. And do so while you comfortably explore the varied Mediterranean Carinthia by bike or by e-bike.
Carinthia is a true paradise for all pleasure cyclists; a place that is home to an extensive network of marked cycle paths that skirt you alongside a myriad of beautiful lakes. Just look at the map to see the abundance of lakes awaiting you and your bike, such as Lake Wörthersee, Lake Millstätter See, Lake Klopeiner See, Lake Weissensee, Lake Ossiacher See or Lake Faaker See, to name but a few. In this Collection, we bring you the most beautiful cycle paths along these lakes, so you have them right at hand.
The infrastructure surrounding cycle paths within the region is also incredibly well-developed thanks to the numerous cycle partner companies, such as "Kärnten rent e-bike". With Kärnten rent e-bike, you can just pick up your bike and return them anywhere, and you can be sure that with your electronic assistant giving you help when you need it, even the hardest inclines and toughest trails become little more than child's play. Together with Papin and the Carinthian tourist regions, you can rent all other types of bikes at the 50 rental stations. kaernten-rent-ebike.at
If you want to test the latest e-bikes on the beautiful cycle paths, the E-MOTIONS event at Lake Millstätter See is just the thing for you. Between May 11 and May 13, you can try out free e-bikes, go on tours, get tips from local guides and enjoy culinary highlights around the lake. Detailed information about the festival program, information about the offered tours and descriptions can be found at emotions-event.com.
