파이스트리츠 안 데어 가일‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

Great views and a great MTB approach from Slovenia. MTB descents towards Austria are apparently not permitted.

The very conceptual name is both complete and true to the program. A great opportunity to stand high up at a "three-state junction" and look down on their countries.

The route to the summit of the Dobratsch, starting point at the Rosstratte car park, can be done in several ways. The easiest, however, is to follow the "normal" route. This should also be possible for inexperienced and not particularly well-equipped people. Good footwear is a must, however, as the path is partly made of coarse gravel and can be slippery, especially when going downhill. It is around 4.5 km with an elevation difference of around 450 m. The effort is definitely worth it, the view from the summit cross is fantastic.

For how through this man-made path has given the opportunity to visit this place.

...After mining on the Dobratsch was no longer profitable in the 1980s, the idea arose to create a new usage concept for the area. This idea received additional momentum in 1997, when Villach was awarded the title of "1st Alpine Town of the Year". The topics of "protected areas close to the city" and "sustainable use" came into focus. In the 1990s, there was still a ski area on the Villacher Alpe. Artificial snowmaking was not possible due to drinking water protection. So alternative ideas were needed. The "Nature Park" project was born. And on September 24, 2002, the Dobratsch was recognized by the state government as the first nature park in Carinthia. The Dobratsch Nature Park includes the nature and landscape conservation areas of Dobratsch, Schütt and Warmbad Villach.

Villach's local mountain & unique natural jewel The Dobratsch stands like a rock in the surf in the middle of the Carinthian lake landscape. The people of Villach love and value their local mountain, which is also called the Villacher Alpe, as a local recreation area. No wonder: where else can you be in the high mountains within 20 minutes of the city? In addition, the mountain range is an important drinking and thermal water reservoir in the region, but also an ancient alpine pasture area and pilgrimage destination. For centuries, nature and culture have gone hand in hand on and around the Dobratsch. One of several reasons that led to the dedication of the Dobratsch Nature Park. But what is a nature park and what role does the Villach Alpine Road play in experiencing the nature park?...

Meeting point of three nations Italy, Slovenia and Austria.

A beautiful place, the water is wonderfully crystal clear and the colors are simply fabulous! A day here by the river is nicer than 5 days by the sea. The path to the river is very steep in places and the wooden railing doesn't seem trustworthy or even stable...
