The Gailtal cycle path is beautiful. Today we follow him to Hermagor. Here we enjoy coffee and cake in the afternoon and in the evening we don't miss out on the culinary delights at the Bärenwirt. In the morning we are also surprised with a special breakfast at Little Bear. Highly recommended.

A fairly flat route in the Gailbergtal, with a nice view of the Reißkofel during the ride. The route contains parts with nice smooth asphalt, asphalt that has had its day, paths with fine gravel, and paths with coarse gravel and stones. Especially on the latter type of road surface you have to watch out.

The R3 cycle path to Hermagor is 👍signposted and highly recommended. Lots of benches for a short break and always a view of the Gail.
Of course you can also cool off well 🏊 ♂️.
