Forest section Wudmath - Emmersdorf

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A beautiful and easily navigable section through the forest. Pleasant even on hot days. In my opinion, it's better to navigate it upstream, i.e., towards Villach.

Lake Feistritz

Highlight • Lake

The Feistritzer See is a barrage on the Drau. The water is usually very calm and the mountains on the other shore are reflected in the lake. Very idyllic part of the Drau Cycle Path.

Back and forth to Villach, nice trip along the karawanke. My navigation was off, actually 85km.

The neighboring communities have been arguing since 2021 about the costs of the renovation or whether a suspension bridge for pedestrians and cyclists should be built.

Nice tour to drive well, with some inclines and also with some descents where we had to get off to push. 👍👍🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️👋👋🌞🎯🏁
