If you are out and about with your bike in the region around Lake Weissensee, then you should not miss this wonderful tour! It takes you around the idyllic body of water, which shimmers in ever-changing shades of blue when viewed from near and far. Not only the view is fantastic: Here you can relax on the cleanest lake in Carinthia and enjoy the special healing climate. By the way, you also make a bit of an effort, because this tour also makes a few small detours into the surrounding mountains.

You start in Techendorf and circle the lake clockwise. Right at the beginning it goes steeply uphill, because the cycle path leads along the steep north bank around 250 meters above the water surface. From here the view of the lake is particularly beautiful! After a rapid descent you reach the east bank, where you can take a break at the lido. At the kiosk you can treat yourself to a snack or refreshment. There is a small jetty very close by, from which excursion boats depart across the lake. If you like, you can sail back to Techendorf from here.

Instead, the tour takes you further around the lake. It leaves the immediate shore, because there is no direct path along the water in the south. In the mountains on the surrounding pastures it is at least as beautiful. On the managed Fischeralm you can fortify yourself with regional delicacies and enjoy the beautiful mountains. Then just let yourself roll back down to the lake and enjoy the last few kilometers on the gravel bike path right by the water, which will take you back to the starting point of the tour in Techendorf.

No other lake in Carinthia has such color gradations between shallow and deep water. Absolutely worth seeing!

Glassmakers' Smelting Furnace Tscherniheim

Highlight • Historical Site

Several panels tell the story of the glassblowing community that once lived there. It must have been a hard life.

The lake is and remains the jewel of Carinthia! There are new surprises from every corner you go! Even "old" hikers are always surprised by what new things emerge on the shores of this jewel! 👍🏻

if you kick your soul out early on the first climb😬, you will be compensated with the ascent and finally with a stop at the Bodenalm 🥰...

Wonderful MTB tour, but the point in the middle of the height profile was covered with the cable car ...

This tour is only for mountain bikers who don't mind 4 km in a row with a constant gradient between 18 and 20%, and there are a few other difficult climbs to be mastered on partly loose ground. The tour also has many good sections. A dream when you are traveling with an E-Fully, endless fun. Fun downhill

Lovely MTB ride with some amazing views 💚! And... no rain! 🙌
Premium round with incredible impressions of wilderness, alpine pastures, lake and rocky mountain paths with great views, very impressive. The round is highly recommended, but you should: woman, have some experience with very rocky terrain, long descents with rough, sharp slate gravel mean that the average speed is low, but there are many places with 🤩🤩🤩 effect, hence ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👌

Very nice MTB tour around the Weissensee with Walter. With EKS on the Hermagorer Bodenalm.
To finish off, there's a cooling round for the sore knee...

A beautiful area here with great trails. The weather wasn't that great today, but it can only get better.
Tomorrow we go to the first MTB family tour.
Today I'm going to have a look at the Nassfeld Bike Paradise on foot, where I might be going this week.
