The Austrian mountain town of Bad Kleinkirchheim is ready to take bikers on a 15-kilometre (9.3 mi) adventure. The start of the trail is located at 2,055 metres (6,742 ft) above sea level at the Kaiserburgbahn mountain railway station, amidst the gentle alpine world of the Nockberge mountains.
Adrenaline-packed, this varied trail leads downhill for around 15 kilometres (9 mi), including steep turns, drops, pump tracks, and rollers on the gravel route. In total, you cover almost 1,000 metres (3,200 ft) of elevation gain, with an average gradient of 8%. You’ll come away with many memories and that unique ‘flow feeling’. You can rest and relax along the trail at certified bike huts that have panoramic views of the surrounding mountains.
The special thing about the Flow Country Trail is that you can leave it in some places and combine your Tour with other mountain bike routes and single trails in the region. The combination of flow and nature keeps the experience varied.
The Nock Lake trails that lead from the mountain to the lake are worth taking note of. They take you directly to the shore of the picturesque Brennsee Lake in the village of Feld am See. You hang out at the Bikers Lounge and take a dip in the lake. If you still have energy, lots of sports are on offer here, from stand-up paddling to sailing, surfing, and kayaking.
Before you hit the trails, you can work on your technique at the nock/bike practice course in Feld am See. The 400-metre (1,300 ft) circuit with pump tracks and North Sure elements is a great place to test your skills. There are stoney and rooty trails, as well as a staircase.
At the Kaiserburg cable car station in Bad Kleinkirchheim, you’ll find a 1,000-square-metre (10,800 sq ft) practice course and a pump track. After warming up, you can conquer Europe's longest flow country trail and the five unique natural single trails in and around Bad Kleinkirchheim.
In total, the nock/bike region around Bad Kleinkirchheim, Lake Millstätter See and the Nockberge mountains offers around 355 kilometres (221 mi) of MTB routes and trails for all levels of ability. If you prefer a more leisurely pace, you can explore the Carinthian Nockberge mountains on an e-bike.
Certified bike hotels and huts will ensure you have a comfortable stay. At the local bike centres, you can find competent guides and get all the information you need about biking in and around Bad Kleinkirchheim.
The construction of Europe's longest Flow Country Trail was carried out with the support of the Federal Ministry for Sustainability and Tourism, the province of Carinthia and the Leader Programme of the EU (European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development).
