プレディル湖のおすすめツーリングルート

The entire ascent follows the fully paved Mangart Road, which ends with a large loop. At the highest point, there is a seating area with two benches and a table. From there, a short walk uphill and then keeping left will take you to a worthwhile viewpoint in a few minutes. About 2 km above the start of the Mangart Road, you reach the toll booth for cars and motorcycles. There is a small parking lot from which you can start the ascent somewhat shorter. At the last bend below the loop, there is a barrier, and from here on, the road is closed to ALL road users. Pedestrians and cyclists can bypass the barrier and use the road all the way up at their own risk. Return on the same route; however, you can simply complete the loop at the top.

Great, but also ice-cold water, with a restaurant nearby.

On one side a small memorial (military, Great War), on the other side the beautiful lake.

Fantastic view of the beautiful lake.

Very beautiful lake, unfortunately too much traffic at the pass today.

The Predel Fortress (Paßsperre Predil, Depot Oberbreth, Depot Predil) was one of six forts that formed the system of Carinthian forts. It stands a few hundred meters from the Predel Pass. The first fort was built during the Napoleonic Wars. During the war, it was burned down twice after fierce fighting. In 1848, it was decided to build a new one on the site of the old fortress. It served its purpose until 1880, when a commission found that the fortress no longer met modern military regulations, so it was converted into a military warehouse. It retained this function until the end of the First World War. Since no one maintained the building after the war, it fell into disrepair, so today only the relatively well-preserved walls can be seen.

The old train stations are really beautiful
