Mountain biking

If you are out and about with your bike in the region around the Weissensee, then you should not miss this wonderful tour! It leads you once around the idyllic water, which, viewed from near and far, shimmers in ever different shades of blue. Not only the view is fantastic: Here you can relax on the cleanest lake in Carinthia and enjoy the special healing climate. By the way, you also make a little effort, because this tour also makes a few small detours into the surrounding mountains.

You start in Techendorf and circle the lake clockwise. Right at the beginning there is a steep uphill, because the bike path leads along the steep north bank around 250 meters above the water surface. From here the view of the lake is particularly beautiful! After a rapid descent you will reach the east bank, where you can take a break at the lido. You can treat yourself to a snack or refreshment at the kiosk. There is a small landing stage nearby, from which the excursion boats across the lake leave. If you like, you can sail from here all the way back to Techendorf.

Instead, the tour continues around the lake. In doing so, it leaves the immediate bank, because in the south there is no direct path along the water. In the mountains on the surrounding alpine pastures, however, it is at least as beautiful. At the managed Fischeralm you can fortify yourself with regional delicacies and enjoy the wonderful mountains. Then you can simply roll back down to the lake and enjoy the last few kilometers on the gravel bike path right by the water, which will bring you back to the starting point of the tour in Techendorf.

No other lake in Carinthia has such color gradations between shallow and deep water. Absolutely worth seeing!

Glassmakers' Smelting Furnace Tscherniheim

Highlight • Historical Site

Several panels tell the story of the glassblowing community that once lived there. It must have been a hard life.

The lake is and remains the jewel of Carinthia! There are new surprises from every corner you go! Even "old" hikers are always surprised by what new things emerge on the shores of this jewel! 👍🏻

Depending on your condition, this is a moderate to difficult tour with a wonderful view of the lake

Wonderful MTB tour, but the point in the middle of the height profile was covered with the cable car ...

This car park (start and finish) is free of charge. All other car parks around the Weissensee cost €4 or €9 daily fee.

if you kick your soul out early on the first climb😬, you will be compensated with the ascent and finally with a stop at the Bodenalm 🥰...

Lovely MTB ride with some amazing views 💚! And... no rain! 🙌

Premium round with incredible impressions of wilderness, alpine pastures, lake and rocky mountain paths with great views, very impressive. The round is highly recommended, but you should: woman, have some experience with very rocky terrain, long descents with rough, sharp slate gravel mean that the average speed is low, but there are many places with 🤩🤩🤩 effect, hence ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👌

Today I finally managed to drive around the Weissensee. Nice round with a fantastic view! Lots of rough dirt road! Mountain bike highly recommended 👍

A beautiful area here with great trails. The weather wasn't that great today, but it can only get better. Tomorrow we go to the first MTB family tour. Today I'm going to have a look at the Nassfeld Bike Paradise on foot, where I might be going this week.
