Track types
Safety information
For the most part, the Carinthia Lake Loop leads over independent cycle paths or quiet municipal roads.
Some sections, however, must be covered on federal roads due to the lack of cycle paths!!
Tips and suggestions
Roadbook
From the north side of Lake Faak, it goes steeply downhill for the first kilometer in Egg am Faaker See. At St. Niklas, cross the federal highway and directly cross the Drava bridge to the Drava cycle path, which you reach immediately after the end of the bridge. Then follow the Drava cycle path through the beautiful Rosental and Jauntal to Stein im Jauntal (or Dullach). The best traffic connection to Lake Klopein is via the village of Stein im Jauntal, where a short climb must be mastered. From Stein im Jauntal, it is then just 2 km to Lake Klopein. On the way to Lake Klopein, a detour to the gunsmith town of Ferlach is definitely worthwhile.
