Kreuzberg Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

As a pass, the Kreuzberg is rather unspectacular. There is no view here, and there is not much to linger on. It is more of a transit pass that connects the two valleys. Coming from Hermagor, it is a very long climb that becomes tough at the end. Coming from Greifenburg, it is very tough, especially after Pobersach/Waisach, it is just miserably steep with over 15% towards the turnoff to the very beautiful Weissensee. This means that there is a lot of traffic, especially on the northern slope - both downhill and uphill. Sports cars are also often tested here, so there can be some tricky situations here too. Better than driving early in the morning or later in the day when the excursion traffic has passed. Otherwise, it is mostly good asphalt!

View of Lake Weißensee from Techendorf Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

The only bridge over the lake. It connects the two banks and serves as a pier for the excursion boats. At the same time, it marks the approximate dividing line between the eastern, natural and the western, touristic-sustainable part.

Fast descent from Weissensee into the Drautal valley

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

It rolls really well here. The road surface also allows high speeds. The panorama of the Lienz Dolomites can only be seen from time to time.
If you want to take the Drautal cycle path, you have to be careful: the junction is small and comes suddenly.

Northern ascent to Gailbergsattel from Oberdrauburg

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

The northern ascent is easy and steady. The gradient remains in the single digits throughout. Ten hairpin bends lead to the Gailberg Saddle. 350 meters of elevation gain are achieved over almost seven kilometers. The pass is quite busy. However, the well-maintained road has plenty of room for both racing bikes and cars.

Gailberg Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

can actually be driven well at any time because it has no steeper ramps and can be driven a lot in the shade.

Southern ascent of Gailbergsattel

Highlight • Mountain Pass

There is a bend at the bottom, which the mountain grants you, and then it goes more or less straight towards the summit. Unfortunately there is no pass sign to celebrate, which again underlines the transit character. The gradient remains fairly moderate and, despite the length, you get to the top quite quickly and easily.

Today we went to Weissensee in fantastic weather.
Carinthia is really a fantastic cycling region.
I hope I can do a few more tours here.
So, let's see what my therapy plan looks like?
