The Drava cycle path was built during the construction of the Drava power plants in the 1980s. The dam paths initially served as access roads to the power plant construction sites. The first section, Spittal an der Drau–Völkermarkt, was given the designation R1 in 1990. Extensions, gap closures and rest areas followed, partly as an Interreg project.
During the storm in October 2018, sections of the cycle path in East Tyrol were completely destroyed. From the end of May 2019, it was fully accessible again.
