From here you don't feel like driving in Germany or Austria anymore. You can tell by the smell, the plants, the stones - the south is near. :)

September 15, 2023,Von Hermagor nach Villach
And we continue on the Gailtal cycle path towards Villach. Today it's a bit cloudy. We can only guess at the Dobrash. Nevertheless, this route has its charm.
In the afternoon we board the train from Villach to Linz. Here we start our second cycling adventure from Linz to Maxen near Dresden on Saturday via the Vltava Cycle Path and …

Unfortunately, the trouser pocket ended the tour at the hut. But we still continue on to Kötschach.

Started in Hermagor at 27 ° C and arrived at the Berghof at 30 ° C. Unfortunately, all snack stations were closed.

Nice bike path, at many. Set again to drive very well...

Very relaxed short round today, without altitude difference 😎

A very, very, very beautiful place. 🥰🥰
On my Ebenwald scale (my personal scale out of 10 for measuring the beauty of places 😅😅😅): 9.5/10

Showing Translation

Very easy-to-ride e-bike group tour in the Gailtal valley downhill, mostly on the official Carinthia cycle route.
We have been travelling in Carinthia for a week now (with Twerenbold Veloreisen). Group participants between 60-85 years old, so a predominantly senior group.
My battery consumption for this tour was 20% (some driven off-road).

With the Carinthian adventure card, you can take your bike for free from OssiacherSee to Hermagor
Then it's all slightly downhill back to OssiacherSee, highly recommended
