Tour profile / level 1

This tour is ideal for beginners and families. The route mainly takes you alongside the river Drau and there are no steep inclines. The bicycle path is well marked.

Day 1: Niederdorf/Toblach

Day 2: Niederdorf/Toblach – Lienz, approx. 50 - 55 km

Starting in Villabassa/Dobbiaco you cycle along the bike path to San Candido and then on to Sillian. Afterwards it is downhill all the way to the Austrian town of Lienz, where already the „Illyrer“ founded one colony, which was developed by the Romans to the city „Aguntum“.

Day 3: Lienz – Dellach/Berg, approx. 30 - 35 km

Visit the outdoor museum “Aguntum” - excavations and discoveries report about that Roman settlement. You leave from where the Isel flows into the Drau and carry on with the bike path to Oberdrauburg (“Perchten and Alm” museum and old mill) and then to Berg. This was once an important Roman Trade Route.

From Dellach/Berg you pass through idyllic landscape and dreamy villages en route to Sachsenburg/Spittal an der Drau.

    E-bikes

    With an E-bike every bike tour is a breeze! If you had few opportunities to cycle over the last weeks or if you are not sure concerning your fitness, but also with physical disabilities, every bike ride is a treat! The shiftable, low noise electric drive of our modern electro bike relieves you of some of the work and increases the pedal force up to 3 times ... So you can now book a bike tour together with cyclists who have different fitness level. Acclivity can be handled easily.

    Note: E-bikes are a great development, but should be - due to their driving characteristics (high weight + high speed) - booked only by very safe and experienced cyclists with a very good sense of balance. Not suitable are electric bikes for people who rarely ride a bicycle
