In bici da Ossiach a Wernberg

Ready for a scenic ride in Carinthia? Start your journey in the charming lakeside village of Ossiach, nestled on the southern shore of beautiful Lake Ossiach and famous for its historic Benedictine abbey. The route takes you south, weaving mostly along dedicated cycleways and quiet roads, making it a relaxing spin with minimal traffic. You’ll enjoy lovely views of the lake and surrounding hills, with about 230 meters of climbing and more descent—so there’s a satisfying downhill feeling as you approach your destination!

Although most of the 18 km route is smooth asphalt, keep an eye out for a few short gravel sections. The path winds through lush countryside dotted with quaint villages, fields, and forests before rolling into Wernberg. The town sits at the foot of the Gerlitzen Alps and is known for its pretty castle and easy access to local cycling networks. This ride is a perfect mix of lake, farmland, and mountain vistas—ideal for a chill afternoon excursion!
