Mountain biking

Lake Weissensee, located in the nature park of the same name, is certainly one of the most beautiful of its kind. The various shades of blue from the shore to the center of the lake, paired with the green alpine meadows and fir forests, create a pure mountain idyll on this mountain bike tour.

Your clockwise circumnavigation starts in the village of Weissensee itself. From the lakeshore, you pedal hard and climb quickly up the northern slope. The view of the body of water below you is uniquely beautiful and accompanies you on the traverse to the eastern end of the lake.

Since there aren't paths everywhere on the enclosed southern shore, you'll take a detour to the other side of the hill and cycle from one beautiful alpine pasture to the next. Your faithful companion is the Tscherniheim stream, which also guides you to delicious places to stop for refreshments. Once back at the lake, you'll follow its turquoise shore once more.

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.

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

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.

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 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👌
