Cycling day trip from Hermagor to Villach

Start your cycling adventure in the charming town of Hermagor, nestled in the picturesque Gailtal Valley of Austria. Known for its stunning landscapes and close proximity to the beautiful Pressegger See, Hermagor offers a serene starting point for your ride.

Your journey covers approximately 63 kilometers, taking you on a delightful mix of surfaces, mostly on asphalt, with over half of your route dedicated to cycleways. As you pedal alongside the scenic backdrop of the Carnic Alps, you'll experience both an ascent of just over 540 meters and a descent of around 655 meters. This balance ensures a workout without wearing you out!

The route predominantly follows quiet roads and cycle paths, though you'll briefly encounter busier roads, so stay alert. With notable spots of loose gravel, ease your pace and take in the sights.

You'll wrap up your ride in the vibrant town of Villach, known for its historic architecture, thermal baths, and lively cultural scene. Take a moment to enjoy a well-deserved rest here and perhaps explore the inviting streets. This cycling route is as much about the journey as it is about these two charming Austrian towns. Enjoy the ride!
