Experience Central Carinthia from its unspoilt side. This route starts directly at St. Georgen Abbey and takes you over the Steinbichl with its panoramic views down into the idyllic Gurktal valley. A tour that impresses with its high proportion of nature trails and the constant variety between forest, meadow and river landscape.

Tour highlights

  • Steinbichl viewpoint: the first climb is rewarded! From Steinbichl, you can enjoy a sweeping view over the countryside before plunging into the winding descents towards Gurktal.
  • Natural jewel Gurktal: Follow the course of the Gurk on winding paths. The cool river breeze and the tranquillity of the surrounding meadows make this section a truly relaxing experience.
  • Gravel paradise: This loop offers exactly what gravel bikers are looking for: Firm gravel paths, little traffic and the feeling of being far away from the hustle and bustle of the main roads.
  • Finish in the monastery garden: After returning to St. Georgen Abbey, our terrace is the perfect place to put your tired legs up and reflect on the tour with a glass of regional juice or wine.
