The adventure of gravel biking: discovering forgotten places

The mountains are calling, and the answer lies in the heart of gravel biking. In Carinthia, more precisely in Velden am Wörthersee, a world full of adventure and discoveries opens up. Equipped with gravel bikes, not only the streets are explored, but also the hidden paths and forgotten places.

The magic of gravel biking

Gravel bikes are not just simple bikes. They offer a completely new dimension to cycling. With less weight and more flexibility, they are perfect for exploring forest paths and gravel paths. And exactly such paths can be found around Lake Wörthersee.

The journey begins

The first tour leads from Velden am Wörthersee over gravel paths to Villach on the Ossiacher Tauern. The views are breathtaking and the fresh mountain air invigorates the senses. But it's not just the natural beauties that make this region so special. There are also hidden treasures to discover.

Forgotten Places

Off the beaten path lie the ruins of Hohenwart, once a proud castle now being reclaimed by nature. These ruins tell stories from a time when knights and lords ruled the land. But this is not the only lost place in this region. An abandoned train station in Tarvisio, Italy holds secrets you would hardly expect. A hidden playroom that bears witness to unusual preferences lets the imagination run wild.

The connection to nature

While discovering these abandoned places is fascinating, it is the connection to nature that makes gravel biking so special. The drive through small villages, past flowering meadows and with a view of the majestic Alps, is an experience that you will not soon forget.

Memories and future plans

The region around Lake Wörthersee is not only a place for adventure, but also for memories. For some, it is a place where they have experienced sporting highlights in the past, such as an Ironman. But no matter whether you're reliving old memories or creating new ones, one thing is certain: the magic of gravel biking will captivate everyone.

The journey ends, but the adventure continues. With every pedal stroke a new world full of possibilities opens up. And who knows what hidden treasures will be discovered on the next tour?
