Lake Ossiach Cycle Path

Beautiful bike path with many views of the lake. However, it does not lead directly along the lake.

Landskron Castle is a rock castle northeast of Villach, at the western foot of the Ossiacher Tauern range, on the plateau of a rocky cone that rises 135 m above the plain. Evidence of settlement dating back to around 800 BC has been found in various finds, including burial mounds, inscribed stones, and swords embedded in the castle's Crown Hall. In 878, a document mentions the donation of the property to the Bavarian monastery of Altötting. The castle is home to the Landskron Castle Eagle Arena, where public bird of prey displays are held during the summer months.

Treffner Bach Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Sometimes you drive in the shade of the trees, which has a very cooling effect in the summer heat.

Lake Ossiach

Highlight • Lake

Beautiful lake with many cycling opportunities. The tour around the lake is also suitable for beginners, otherwise there are various trails and opportunities to cycle up the Gerlitzen. Villach in the south and Feldkirchen in the north are also not far away.

Bleistätter Moor East Shore

Highlight • Natural

Officially, the path only goes halfway, after that there is only a narrow path. (You can already drive through), unfortunately there is not a single sign so that you know. You can easily drive on the main road.

August 1, 2025,Rund um den Ossiacher See mit Abstecher nach Villach

Our first time in Carinthia and I was incredibly impressed. A fantastic bike path around Lake Ossiach, crystal-clear water, and towering mountains all around—what could make a bike tour more beautiful? After the beautiful loop around Lake Ossiach, we made a quick detour to Villach to check out the old town. Due to the Kirchtag (church festival), we couldn't see …

Yesterday arrival by train RE1 Wilferdingen - Singen Stuttgart then continued with Westbahn to Salzburg. Briefly looked around Salzburg and stayed overnight.
This morning we continued by train to Villach - start of cycling holiday Carinthia Lake Loop. Did a few km right away. Nice, leisurely 40 km around the Ossiacher See with a few beautiful highlights.

Today in Villach rented two bikes. The weather was beautiful with lots of sun and 33 degrees 🌡️ so we chose a route via komoot and this time we cycled around the Ossiacher See from Villach. A beautiful varied route with some gravel and beautiful cycle paths. The route went partly along the Drau and Treffener bach that flows into …

In the evening there were the mushrooms found …

June 2, 2025,🇦🇹 Runde um den Ossiacher See & Besichtigung des Stifts

Lake Ossiach is the third-largest lake in the Austrian province of Carinthia. It is located northeast of Villach.

Plenty of untouched nature, mountains, the Gerlitzen peaks with their stunning views, the joie de vivre of the border triangle, countless sports and leisure opportunities, and the urban flair of Villach, a town on the Drau River.

A beautiful tour around Lake Ossiach and a short trip to Villach. The Finsterbach waterfalls are well worth seeing. The final climb is very steep, but then you are rewarded. It was worth it, dear cycling friends.

August 26, 2021,Morning Ride 37 Holiday Edt

Last Ride in this years month long holiday. Enjoying the scenery the fun rides and riding with friends over the last month was fun and very motivating. Due to the weather being a bit unstable for this time of the year I didn't do as much long rides as I had planned for. But the ones I did were fantastic.
