Leisure biking in the mountains and on lakes
In early summer, the mountains and lakes of the Nassfeld-Pressegger See, Lesachtal and Weissensee region radiate a tranquillity and energy that easily captures their visitors. Moreover, boundless biking freedom close to nature can nowhere else be taken as literal as on the sunny side of the Alps. The region is a real playground for leisure cyclists, families, and sporty bikers.
Enjoying nature to the full
Whether gliding across the glistening turquoise water on a Lake Weissensee boat trip, at meditative relaxation spots along the Gailtal Cycle Route R3 or towards Lake Volaya in the Lesachtal Valley: you can look forward to romantic time for two, a relaxed family day or an eventful excursion with your friends.
From relaxed bike picnics at idyllic (water) spots to cycling to Slow Food Travel producers and a cross-border bike tour to Italy or Slovenia: The purest mountain air and amazing panoramic views are your constant companions whichever theme you choose!

Die Biketouren
A "best of" local products
The home of good taste. As varied and diverse as the moments of enjoyment at the world's first Slow Food Travel destination are, they always also reflect the region's landscape and way of life. Fragrant Lesachtal Valley bread, Gailtal Valley bacon and "Slow Fish" on Lake Weissensee - they all provide more than just enjoyment. They also make you realise that the best is often right on your doorstep. Qualified guides as nature ambassadors or rural food artisans invite you to join in and try out as part of Slow Food experiences or certified "GREEN Experiences". All dates available at: www.slowfood.travel/erlebnisse
to Venzone (ITA) or Bled (SLO)
Take the bike bus for a cross-border bike tour with your own bike guide. The destination is either the Slovenian climatic health resort of Bled (bike route approx. 65 km) or the medieval lavender town of Venzone in Italy (bike route approx. 65 km). This very section of the Alpe Adria Cycle Route is considered one of the most attractive. A large part of it runs along the disused railway line "Pontebbana", through historic tunnels, over viaducts and bridges, and offers spectacular views of the surrounding landscape.
As both tours are mostly slightly downhill, anyone can manage the distances. Once arrived at your destination, there is still enough time to enjoy Italian or Slovenian specialities before returning home in comfort by shuttle bus.
