The most beautiful section of the route is the one between the sleepy Oberdrauburg and Spittal with Schloss Porcia, one of the most picturesque castles in Austria.

A place to enjoy and help others. First, a regular bench, second, a stone bench, third, a view over the Drau River to St. Niklas, and fourth, a repair station for cyclists—all great!
