From the gunsmith town to the mountaineer village
-
Koschutahaus
From the southernmost town in Austria, the gunsmith town of Ferlach, we bike along the state road past the idyllic little Waidischer See lake into the high valley of the mountaineering village of Zell/Sele. With enough reserves - either in the legs or in the battery - we climb the Koschutahaus, the highest point on this loop. Be careful when descending the unpaved toll road. Via Zell-Freibach, the tour continues along the turquoise blue Freibacher Stausee to the barrel-tying community of St. Margareten i.R.. Here we meet the Drau cycle path, which has been awarded 5*, and cycle along it upstream back to our starting point.
Tip: pack your swimwear for a cool down in the Freibacher Stausee!
