Short Goggausee road bike route from St. Veit/Glan
-
Hotel Restaurant GlantalerhofPhoto: Andreas Duller, .
The road bike route around Goggausee is a short but beautiful route in central Carinthia.
The road bike route in Carinthia starts and ends in St. Veit an der Glan and leads through a picturesque and varied region.
From St. Veit, head southwest to Liebenfels. This first, gently hilly section offers beautiful views of mountains and fields with moderate traffic. Further to Steuerberg, the route becomes hillier and more demanding, with many climbs through dense forests and open fields.
From Steuerberg, the route leads to Goggaussee, a small, idyllic lake suitable for a short break. Afterwards, it continues to St. Urban, a holiday town with steeper climbs and magnificent views of the landscape.
The route then passes through quiet rural areas to Glantschach, from where you have a good view of the surrounding mountains. The last section back to St. Veit is mostly downhill, which is pleasant after the efforts of the route.
Overall, the route is about 50 to 60 kilometers long, offers a good mix of climbs and descents, and is scenic as well as physically challenging. The roads are good and traffic is low, ideal for road cyclists.
