    Die Tour ist Top für ein Gravel-Bike. Vor allem die slowenische Seite. Bin diese ab Eibiswald gefahren. Aber dann von Sv. Urban zum GH Strutz und über Hadernigg zurück nach Eibiswald. Somit muss man nur kurz auf der Bundesstraße fahren und meidet die Motorradfahrer vulgo Organspender. Bei Sv. Urban geht es aber über einen Wanderweg runter. Man muss schieben da viele Äste liegen. Dann fährt man noch ein Stück über eine Forststraße, die erneuert wurde. Also illegal.

    Wir sind heute die Drau von Mühlenbach bis Kraftwerk Ferlach gepaddelt. Traumhaftes Wetter. Die Drau ist hier überall gestaut, keine Fließgeschwindigkeit, paddeln wie auf einem See. Wir haben uns kurzfristig entschieden, die Organisation war top, Transfer, Kanu, Ausrüstung... hat alles wunderbar funktioniert :-)

    molto bella la prima parte. In alcuni punti forse si può sbagliare perché mancano le segnalazioni. numerosi saliscendi, soprattutto in Slovenia. paesaggi molto belli ed è facile trovare una camera dove dormire. Ovunque è stato possibile mettere la bici al sicuro per la notte.
