This tour is perfect for gravel bikers and adventurers who want to combine the best of nature and history. On a mixture of tarmac side roads and fine gravel paths, this route takes you from Längsee deep into the historic Zollfeld and to the gates of the provincial capital of Klagenfurt.
Tour highlights:
- Cultural monuments along the way: experience history up close. The route takes you to the historic Herzogstuhl on the Zollfeld and the imposing Maria Saal Cathedral - one of Carinthia's most important landmarks.
- Klagenfurt detour: The tour takes you close to the provincial capital. Ideal for a coffee break at Neuer Platz or a quick look at the Lindwurm before heading back north on varied paths.
- Gravel enjoyment: Away from the main roads, you can enjoy the tranquillity of the Zollfeld and the surrounding hills. The route offers a fluid change of terrain and is always entertaining.
- Return to the place of power: The crowning finale is the arrival at St. Georgen Abbey, where you can reflect on the day with regional delicacies and the peace and quiet of the abbey.
