Lavant Bike Path
One of the lesser well-known bike paths in Austria, the Lavant Bike path is one to consider. It runs from Reichenfels to Lavamünd over 57kms through the Lavanttal.
If you start in Reichenfels then it is all downhill through this rugged and charming valley. It takes you through the mountainous and sharp sided valleys in the north to the wider valley further south.
The valley is historical with Castles & Abbeys which protected this area from invaders, dotted all the way through it. It is easy riding through this valley, which is mainly on a cycle path. There are parts which are on the main road, but these weren’t too busy.

Wolfsberg
I stayed in Wolfsberg overnight which is a charming town with a beautiful old town leading up to the castle which overlooks the town. With the river running through the town there are plenty of spots to stop and admire the views.

My hotel was the Hotel Torwirt, which is beautifully restored hotel right on the ‘gates’ to the old town. The owners are very keen to provide what you need as a cyclist and continue to improve their facilities.
For e-bikers they offer:
- Incredibly comfy beds
- Excellent e-bike garage with charging points
- Clothes washing facilities
- Hose if your bike needs cleaned
- Early check in if the room is ready
- Historical hotel which adds to its interest

What I liked about this area:
- The abbey at St Paul & oldest town in Carinthia St Andrä.
- Wolfsberg has a very pretty old town with cobbled streets and an imposing castle keeping watch over the town.
- Plenty of stops which are designed with cyclists in mind.
- Diversity of the mountains in the north to the open valley in the south
Combine this route with one of the other routes in this area of Austria. Such as the River Drau in the south or the River Mur in the north. This will add to the variety of scenery and cycling experiences you can have.
