This gravel tour combines sporting activity with a journey into the past. From the monastery, the route takes you through the idyllic countryside to the oldest town in Carinthia: Friesach. Away from the main roads, you will experience a landscape characterised by castles, ruins and gentle valleys.
Tour highlights
- Castle town of Friesach: The route takes you right into the heart of the Middle Ages. Marvel at the impressive fortifications and the water-bearing moat of Friesach before continuing on gravel paths.
- Guttaring hills: Enjoy a real "gravel feeling" through the gently rolling hills near Guttaring. The route offers a varied mix of paved paths and fine gravel passages.
- Pure nature experience: this tour is characterised by tranquillity and panoramic views. You cycle through agricultural valleys and small forests, which exude their very own charm, especially in spring and autumn.
- Arrival at the Refugium: After returning to St. Georgen Abbey, our garden is the ideal place to soak up the impressions of this historic tour with a cool drink.
