Bridge over the Gail River

Highlight • Bridge

In the southwest of Carinthia, families prefer to cycle along the "R3" Gailtal cycle path. This approximately 90 km long bike ride runs parallel to the Italian border and is clearly marked with green signs and white ground markings. Children and parents ride along the Gail, cycle through small villages and past old farms. The wildly romantic Gailtal cycle path impresses with the surrounding mountains of the Carnic and Gailtal Alps.

View of Pressegger See and Nassfeld

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Gailtal is a valley running from East Tyrol to Carinthia. It begins in Kartitsch and ends near Villach. The Gailtal does not form a hydrogeographical unit: most of the valley is drained by the Gail to the east, where it flows into the Drau near the village of Maria Gail; the westernmost section of the valley, on the other hand, is drained westwards (also towards the Drau) by the Gailbach. The Kartitscher saddle is the valley watershed.
