Gravel riding

Following ancient legends, this intermediate gravel bike tour leads from Feld am See across the southern shore of the Millstätter See to the Egelsee and back again.

Lots of gravel: In Austria, this can mean two things. Gravel is also a dialect word for small change. Don't worry, in the case of this intermediate gravel bike tour from Feld am See via Döbriach and the southern shore of the Millstätter See to the Egelsee and then back via Insberg and St. Jakob, we are talking about gravel in the sense of gravel. Just as it's not about coal, pardon, money with the "Mille Statuae" along the way. "Mille" is Latin and means thousand. And according to an ancient legend, more than 1,000 pagan statues (Latin: "Mille Statuae") are said to lie at the bottom of the Millstätter See.

Another legend we encounter during the tour tells of a gold treasure at the Egelsee. And then there is – as the last local horror story along the route – the terrible story of the three crosses in Insberg. You don't have to believe everything. It still sounds exciting.

Feld am See

Highlight • Settlement

It's great that after a long bike tour in the Nockberge you can take a dip in the lake at the end, wonderful!

Forest Trail Along the Stream

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Alternative to the cycle path, almost continuously alongside the stream. Not recommended after heavy rain. Barriers are installed on both entry sides, which can be easily bypassed (there is no cycling ban!).

Egelsee (Moor Lake)

Highlight • Lake

A lot through the forest, which is very pleasant in summer. Many gravel paths. The route I chose is very steep and loose just before the Egelsee. It's strenuous for about 250 meters there, otherwise the ride offers very nice relaxation. The swim in the moor water is an experience.
