Radurlaub_2023

A cycling tour with 6 stages, starting in Grafenstein, Carinthia, Austria.

Overview

About this tour

A tour through Carinthia, East Tyrol, and Slovenia covering 415 kilometers on the following bike paths: R4 (Wörthersee Cycle Path), parts of R1 (Drau Cycle Path), R8 (Glockner Cycle Path), R3 (Gailtal Cycle Path), R3 C (Tarviser Cycle Path), CAAR to Tarvis and the railway path from Tarvis to Jesenice marked FVG1a and D2. In Lesachtal from Tassenbach to Kötschach, currently only the Carnic Dolomites Road or B111 on the Carinthian side is available as a possible option. The conditions on the aforementioned bike paths are generally good, very good to excellent. The 'Pfusch from Spittal an der Drau' annoys me every time I use the R1 in Spittal, more about this on Day 2.

Paternion - Großkirchheim

Cycling route in Paternion, Carinthia, Austria

Ridden on June 4, 2023 From Paternion following the R1 to Molzbichl, very good to ride. From Molzbichl on municipal paths zigzagging to Spittal. From Möllbrücke it follows the Glockner cycle path, which from Obervellach is definitely a contender for an excellent five-star cycle route. It's a pity…

Ridden on June 5, 2023 The weather improves in time. It goes downhill along the wonderful R8 to Winklern, and then along the B107 over Iselsberg - Dölsach to the Drau Cycle Path. The Drau Cycle Path up to Tassenbach is once again a total delight. Very nicely laid out, away from the B100. With ste…

Straning - Kranjska Gora

Cycling route in Kirchbach, Carinthia, Austria

Gefahren am 7. Juni 2023 Beginnend am erstklassigen R3 (Gailtal Radweg) super Radfahren auf sehr gut angelegten Radwegen. Eine bessere Streckenführung wäre bei Rattendorf angebracht. Insgesamt aber ist der R3 ein wirklich sehr guter Radweg. Ab dem Gasthof Schütt über den Verbi…

Kranjska Gora - Jesenice + Bahn und Zurück

Cycling route in Kranjska Gora, Kranjska Gora, Slovenia

Cycling on June 9, 2023 The very good rail trail continues all the way to Mojstrana. From there, the route diverges from the rail line but remains very rideable. From Jesenice, it's back by train to Klagenfurt. This rail trail is definitely worth a bike trip! The return journey by train is alwa…
