The Sachsenburg market presents itself as a natural idyll and a place of serene calm. Here your circular route begins heading west, where the small town of Spittal an der Drau welcomes you with its Porcia Castle. The castle houses the Museum of Folk Culture. Then you continue south to the untouched nature of Lake Weissensee. Here you have to exchange your bicycle for a seat on the boat and cover part of the distance on the water. If you are already at Lake Weissensee, you can also enjoy the great view from above by taking a ride on the Weissensee mountain railway. From Lake Weissensee you head north again, into the Upper Drava Valley, to the town of Greifenburg. From here you follow the Drava cycle path back to your starting point in Sachsenburg, where you can indulge yourself gastronomically with the chairman of the Drava cycle path hosts, Ferdinand Penker, at the inn Zum Goldenen Rössl.
Author’s recommendation
Take the time to ride the chairlift up and do the short hike to the Naggleralm. The magnificent view of the turquoise shimmering alpine lake and the surrounding mountain world will delight you as much as the cuisine of the Naggleralm.

Roadbook
Geradelt wird im Talboden entlang des Drauradweges. Die Auf- bzw. Abfahrt zum/vom Weissensee verläuft auf der Straße. Die Zufahrt zum Weissensee Ostufer ist eine Einbahnverbindung und daher nicht so stark frequentiert. Beide Straßen sind sehr gut ausgebaut. Achtung! Vom Ostufer nach Techendorf gibt es keine Radwegverbindung. Sie müssen das Schiff zum Übersetzen nehmen. Bitte auf die aktuellen Abfahrtszeiten achten!
