Pressegger See via Eggforst

Through mixed forest and over meadows, after crossing a road, we reach the Jank estate vlg. Lipl, Götzing 4, where we can buy Gailtal specialties. Continuing through diverse landscapes heading east, after about half an hour, we can see the reed area of the Pressegger See shimmering through the trees. We reach an asphalt road in the area of Passriach, cross it, and hike north through the lake's reed belt, path no. 73. After reaching the village of Presseggen, we turn east to the bus stop or continue to the train station and return to Hermagor. (=> this option is graphically illustrated on the map and corresponds to the provided data)

Variant 1 : At the fork of path 71, we hike on the forest road toward Obervellach. Blackberry bushes cover the ground of the mixed spruce-fir forest. This route is also suitable for strollers. After about 2 km, we take the forest path turning right, path no. 72 toward Egg. Slightly uphill and after a short descent (nice view of the Carnic Alps), turn left and follow path no. 71 as above.

Variant 2: When wet, use the paved bike path R 3 through Burger Moos to before Untervellach; do not continue north there, but go south over the meadow (signposted!) to path 72 and then continue as described.
