In the southwest of Carinthia, families prefer to cycle along the "R3" Gailtal cycle path. This approximately 90 km long bike ride runs parallel to the Italian border and is clearly marked with green signs and white ground markings. Children and parents ride along the Gail, cycle through small villages and past old farms. The wildly romantic Gailtal cycle path impresses with the surrounding mountains of the Carnic and Gailtal Alps.

The Gailtalradweg is an alternative to the Drauweg and is not as frequented

The Gail rises in a moorland area on the Kartitscher Sattel in East Tyrol, just 150 m from the source of the Gailbach, which flows in the opposite direction. It flows through the Tyrolean Gailtal, the Lesachtal and the Carinthian Gailtal. It joins the Gössering near Hermagor and the Gailitz near Arnoldstein. Southeast of Villach, it flows into the Drau near Maria Gail. The river is 122.2 km long and its catchment area is 1,414 km².
