Starting from Annenheim, you ride towards Landskron on the south side of Lake Ossiacher See (R2A). With a great view of the lake, you pass through the villages of Heiligen Gestade, Ostriach, Ossiach, and Alt-Ossiach. Via the Bleistätter Moor, you then reach the north side of the lake, passing the towns of Steindorf, Bodensdorf, Sattendorf, and back to the starting point Annenheim (R2). On this route, where you ride almost exclusively on cycle paths next to the lake, you pass many attractions of the region. For example, the beautiful Ossiach Abbey, the impressive Steinhaus in Steindorf, the summer toboggan run in Ossiach, and the valley station Kanzelbahn in Annenheim.
Author’s recommendation
The beautiful Ossiach Abbey is located halfway along the route and is definitely worth seeing. Also always a special experience is the Lake Ossiacher See boat tour, which offers boarding points around Lake Ossiacher See, or the unique Lake Ossiacher See climbing forest. The spectacular summer toboggan run in Ossiach also brings fun for young and old! The Gerlitzen offers a unique combination of mountain and lake - the excursion destination for the whole family!
