A lot through the forest, which is very pleasant in summer. Many gravel paths. The route I chose is very steep and loose just before the Egelsee. It's strenuous for about 250 meters there, otherwise the ride offers very nice relaxation. The swim in the moor water is an experience.

Pointed high moor lake and great for swimming. Thank goodness you can't go there by car 👍

The Egelsee (formerly also called Ecksee) is a moor lake in Carinthia, Austria, and lies at 780 m above sea level. A. Height on the Millstätter See ridge. The small forest lake of Molzbichl and Rothenthurn can be reached from the south bank of the Millstätter See or via the hiking trails on the Millstätter See ridge. The protected water body does not owe its name to the non-existent leeches, but derives from the original name "Ecksee".
