Kreuzberg Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

A saddle in the forest that connects Hermagor (Gailtal) in the south and Greifenburg (Drautal) in the north. The southern ascent is well developed with good road quality and is easy to drive with pleasant inclines. The north ascent, on the other hand, unfortunately has somewhat poorer road conditions and is sometimes significantly steeper. Anyone who drives the route should definitely make a detour to the beautiful Weissensee!

The last remaining parts of the bridge that crossed the Weißensee from 1050 to 1967.

The viewpoint is about 20 steps above the lake surface, the tower gives a great view of the wet meadows and the lake. Especially in the morning, it is really impressive when the fog releases the view of the lake.

The only bridge over the lake. It connects the two banks and serves as a pier for the excursion boats. At the same time, it marks the approximate dividing line between the eastern, natural and the western, touristic-sustainable part.

Weissensee Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

At its narrowest point, the bridge connects the north and south banks. There has been a bridge at this point since the 11th century. In the 1960s, the old wooden bridge was replaced by the current one. From the bridge you have a great view of the entire lake and you can watch the water sports enthusiasts at their activities.
