Starting Point and Destination

Drau Radweg Silian
The holiday town of Sillian (1103 m above sea level) lies on the Austrian/Italian border, 70 minutes by car from Innsbruck. You will leave your car in the private, unguarded car park at the hotel while you ride to your destination of St. Kanzian, a resort on Lake Klopein (455 m). This area has a favored climate, as it lies south of the main Alpine ridge (inner Alpine sunny 'island').

Path

Up to 90% paved, occasional adventuresome hanging bridges (St. Luzia). The path goes easily downhill near the beginning, levels off, and continues the rest of the way on the valley floor. Infrastructure Parallel regional train tracks to Villach with good bicycle transport possible; from there, coaches.

Sights

Drau Radweg Millstatt
A wonderful holiday landscape accompanies your trip! It offers an interesting contrast of small holiday towns with famous ones; the solitary Rosen valley with the lovely lakes at the foot of the wild—romantic Karawanken Mountains (the natural border between Austria and Slovenia). Cultural highlights are the castle in Lienz with the most significant collection of Egger— Lienz paintings worldwide, the Renaissance palace Porcia in Spittal/D., the city of Villach with its grand old town, or towns with beautiful churches, like Millstatt or Maria Elend. Also worth mentioning is the Rosegg wild park, the most species—rich in Austria.
