Officially, the path only goes halfway, after that there is only a narrow path. (You can already drive through), unfortunately there is not a single sign so that you know. You can easily drive on the main road.

September 23, 2025,🇦🇹 Ossiacher See-Runde.

A beautiful bike tour always close to the lake. The starting point is a day parking lot right next to the outdoor pool and campsite near Villach.

The Ossiachersee tour sounds nice, but unfortunately, you can't see much of the lake. Everything is built on or marked with "No Entry." The whole thing is a rather sad development, but probably just a matter of time.
We spontaneously decided to take a quick gondola ride up to Gerlitzen, thanks in part to the Carinthia Card.

Finally, we went for a round at Lake Ossiach without dogs. Always along the cycle path with the sunset 🌄.
Just when we could no longer see it, we reached our destination - it wasn't much (km) 😉🫠
