Gita in bici di un giorno da Steinfeld a Hermagor

This ride takes you from the peaceful village of Steinfeld all the way down to Hermagor, offering a fantastic taste of Carinthia’s lush landscapes. Starting in Steinfeld, which sits in the tranquil Drautal valley, you’re immediately surrounded by Alpine views and the gentle hum of rural life. The route is a solid 139 km—perfect for a rewarding day trip for experienced cyclists.

You’ll be cruising mostly on quiet roads and dedicated cycleways, making it easy to soak in the beautiful scenery. There’s a fair bit of climbing—about 1,285 meters of ascent—so prepare for some steady uphill stretches before cruising back down. Gravel sections add a mini adventure vibe, though most of your ride will be on nice, smooth tarmac.

Once you reach Hermagor, reward yourself with a stroll around this lively market town, known for its local cheese and proximity to pretty Lake Pressegger. Don’t forget your camera—the mountain backdrops are epic! All in all, it’s a scenic journey from the upper valley to the heart of Austrian countryside charm.
