The tour
Comfortable and panoramic bike & hike tour. It runs mostly on gravel paths or asphalt cycle paths. There are only a few ascents to overcome. The tour can be combined with the well-signposted Spechtensee-Runde bike tour and with a visit to the wildly romantic Wörschachklamm gorge.

 

Note the opening dates of the Wörschachklamm: Regular start with beginning of May until end of October
