Lake Feistritz

Highlight • Lake

The Feistritzer See is a barrage on the Drau. The water is usually very calm and the mountains on the other shore are reflected in the lake. Very idyllic part of the Drau Cycle Path.

Feistritz Reservoir

If you are lucky you will have the view on the lake while it is a perfect mirror! And of course the path along the lake is smooth champagne gravel!

August 31, 2022,Vom Klopeiner See nach Klagenfurt

From Lake Klopeiner See to Ferlach. Unfortunately, the bike path across the Drau was closed. After a lunch break in Gasthaus Plasch, the cycle path was open again. Now it went over the Drau. The cycle path became narrower and climbed steeply in places. Arrival at the hotel in Klagenfurt. Afterwards a delicious meal at the Greek.
