From the Velden tourist information office, the route follows the R4C cycle path, past the Velden sports field, to Lind ob Velden. On small side roads with little traffic, the route leads to the Drava River. Now it goes a short distance along the Drau cycle path R1 to St. Niklas. Here we cross the Drau and a short but steep climb to the Faaker See follows. Pushing is of course allowed. Once at the top, there is a wonderful view of Lake Faak and the Karawanken with the Mittagskogel. At the wayside shrine you can recover from the first efforts.
On the bike path you go via Drobollach, and past the nature reserve Faaker See, to Faak am See. Here a visit to the model train paradise or the citrus garden is worthwhile. Past numerous campsites, the route continues to Egg am Faaker See. If you have enough strength, you can drive up to the Tabor (approx. 160 meters in altitude) with a fantastic view over Lake Faak. There is also a high ropes course on the Tabor.
We continue in the direction of Ledenitzen into the Rosental. Now we follow a short section of the Ironman to Unterferlach. On a side road with hardly any traffic, the route is somewhat hilly to Mühlbach and on to Frög. Here a visit to the Frög Celtic World is worthwhile. A few minutes further on, the next excursion destinations worth seeing are already waiting. The Rosegg Zoo, Rosegg Castle and the Rosegg Labyrinth are definitely worth a visit. Now it's once again uphill in the direction of Velden. The last kilometers are slightly downhill back to the tourist information.
