Forest section Wudmath - Emmersdorf

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A beautiful and easily navigable section through the forest. Pleasant even on hot days. In my opinion, it's better to navigate it upstream, i.e., towards Villach.

July 21, 2023,Fahrradtour nach Velden am Wörthersee

An easy 'Family' tour to the Wörthersee. We rode most of the route on the Drau cycle path. Unfortunately not with the usual great views of the mountains, the clouds were too low for that😔. Very nice harmonious tour, which hopefully the girls on the e-bikes also enjoyed a bit 😉😇
