Gravel bike holiday on Lake Wörthersee
Lake Wörthersee is a real paradise for gravel bike enthusiasts. Nestled in the beautiful Carinthian landscape, the region offers a variety of routes for every level - from leisurely tours to crisp, alpine challenges. Highlights such as the Gravel Speedway Rosental with 46 kilometres of pure riding pleasure, peppered with cultural highlights such as Rosegg Castle, make the region unique. For the adventurous, the Drau cycle path is a must on a gravel bike holiday at Lake Wörthersee, while the Ossiacher Tauern or the hilly Moosburger Land guarantee unforgettable nature experiences.
Pure enjoyment on a gravel bike holiday at Lake Wörthersee
The largest lake in Carinthia, which is also one of the warmest Alpine lakes due to its location south of the Alps, also scores points for its proximity to Italy and Slovenia. The sunny south of Austria is also known for its unmistakable Mediterranean flair with mild temperatures, excellent Carinthian specialities and gourmet restaurants, chilled lakeside terraces and trendy sports facilities. Incidentally, the biking season around Lake Wörthersee lasts from April until well into October - road bikers will find ideal training conditions here (almost) all year round.
Welcome to the gravel hotspot of Carinthia!
The icing on the cake of a gravel bike holiday at Lake Wörthersee? The first-class gravel events in the region! In spring, the Wörthersee UCI Gravel Race takes place in glamorous Velden am Wörthersee, while in autumn we compete with other gravel enthusiasts on three different routes at the Jeroboam Wörthersee. Here and there, challenges alternate with moments of enjoyment. And the lake always plays a leading role. All in all, Lake Wörthersee is characterised by technically easy but varied gravel routes and scores points for its lightness and addiction to the lake. This is not about breakneck trails, but classic gravel paths in a constantly changing landscape. Those in search of Lost Places Discoveries will also find what they are looking for here and can discover bizarre stories, historical treasures and unique photo motifs on wild gravel expeditions.
