From there, the Drau winds through a narrow, forest-lined valley.Here and there you leave the shore and drive through the legendary Pohorje, the most water-rich mountain in Slovenia. There are many springs in this nature park, the streams of which flow into the Drau.After a good 80 kilometers you have reached the vibrant university town of Maribor. The second largest city in Slovenia is a lively city full of culinary and cultural highlights, such as the oldest vine in the world or the romantic waterfront.If the stage is too strenuous for you, you can also take a train between Dvravograd and Maribor.

As soon as the Drau has left Maribor, it flows in its natural form over the top field. The landscape has completely changed again, the river is no longer forced into the narrow gorge corset, but is looking for its way freely. The meanders, old arms and lakes are romantic on the one hand, on the other hand they also invite you to cool off in the cool water.After around 30 kilometers you will reach Ptuj, the oldest city in Slovenia. If the entire stage is almost 90 kilometers too long for you, you can best divide it here. Because on and in the lake of Ptuj various sports and recreational opportunities await you and you can relax in the thermal baths or enjoy a glass of wine in one of the many wine cellars.In Varaždin, which is already in Croatia, the last stage ends and with it the official Drau cycle path. The city is affectionately known as "Little Vienna" by the locals and offers a well-preserved, lively city center, a castle and beautiful parks as well as Baroque jewelery.

Today you cycle on a varied route through southern Carinthia, the core area of the Carinthian Slovenes. Here you will find both cultural and scenic diversity, all connected by the Drau, which is particularly multifaceted here.At the beginning, the Drau is very wide because it is dammed up for the generation of electricity. Particularly impressive mountains with impressive rock formations are reflected in the blue-green water. In the further course the Drau Valley becomes narrower again and the forested slopes drop steeply towards the river. That's why you sometimes drive a little further away from the river. The hilly bike paths through the tiny villages are a refreshing change in the idyllic landscape.This stage is also particularly diverse when it comes to river crossings. Sometimes it is a futuristic railway bridge that hovers over the Seidendorfer Au, sometimes it is a weir on the river. Shortly before the end of the stage you cross the Drau on a 100 meter high railway bridge and immediately afterwards the Feistritz on a suspension bridge. To top it all off, drive to the destination in Lavamünd on the city bridge.

On today's stage you can work out and recharge your batteries. After about 77 kilometers and a few small climbs, you will feel your legs at the end of the day, but due to the surrounding, wonderful landscape, you have gained a lot of strength at the same time.Between Lienz and Spittal, the Drau Valley is slowly becoming wider and although the river still flows freely in many places, there are more and more cultural landscapes to the left and right of the Drau. The lush meadows together with the small churches and the high mountains create a unique postcard panorama.Historic town centers, such as in Oberdrauburg and Sachsenburg, loosen up the landscape culturally. In addition there is the highest bathing lake in the Alps in Greifenburg, where you can cool off. Your destination in Spittal is at the confluence of the Lieser and Drau, not far from Lake Millstatt.

Your adventure on the Drau Cycle Path begins in Toblach, a small town in South Tyrol and thus in Italy. Italy is one of four countries that you will get to know by bike on your way along the Drava. The backdrop of your start could hardly be more spectacular: in the middle of the Dolomites, not far from the world-famous Drei Zinnen, you roll on fabulously developed bike paths through the Puster Valley.The aorta of your entire journey, the Drau, is still very original on the first stage. Torrents soon allow the Drau to grow into a stately body of water and there are alluvial forests, gravel banks and islands on the banks.The first stage is also full of cultural highlights. A detour to the towns along which the Drau Cycle Path leads is always worthwhile. In Toblach, Innichen, Sillian and Lienz, Mediterranean flair meets alpine culture, not least culinary.After almost 50 kilometers you have reached your destination Lienz. The city with the medieval center is the capital of East Tyrol and an excellent place to relax after the first stage.

Lake Ossiach is the third largest lake in Carinthia. The long, narrow lake is framed in the north by the steep slopes of the Gerlitzen Alpe and borders in the south on the mountains of the Ossiacher Tauern. While roads lead along the north and south shores, you can hike along the eastern shore in untouched nature. Here the Tiebelbach flows into the lake and forms a sprawling moor landscape. On the Slow Trail you can explore the Bleistätter Moor and enjoy the view of the lake from the observation towers. The trails are very well developed and are also suitable for families with small children and prams.Your hike begins at the stone house of the famous Austrian architect Günther Domenig. Once designed as a residential building, today it is used as a museum about the architect, who died in 2012. You follow the trail to the shore of the lake and into the lead meadow. Here live numerous species of birds, butterflies, bats and even beavers. So take some time to explore the special landscape. On the shore are two wooden observation towers, which are also perfect as a resting place. Once at the south bank, the hike will lead you away from the lakeshore and over wide fields. You cross the Tiebelbach and walk with a wonderful view back to the starting point of your hike.Tip: The stone house, the starting point of the hike, you can also easily travel by ship.
