Starting at the watershed of the rivers Drau and Rienz on the Toblacher Sattel, you ride alongside the Drau through South Tyrol and on to East Tyrol and the town of Lienz. The impressive mountains of the Dolomites line the route.
After a short transfer to the Gailbergpass (about 7 km / 350 m sea level difference), a comfortable descent to Kötschach-Mauthen awaits you. On the Gailtal cycle path at the foot of the Carnic Ridge you cycle comfortably past Hermagor. Before you reach your stage finish Feistritz an der Gail, the Pressegger See invites all gourmets to a relaxing break.
Along your way to Bled, you reach the Italian border and then continue on the cycle path. You travel past the famous ski area of Kranjska Gora, through the wonderful and mostly unknown countryside of Slovenia. It is also possible to shorten the trip by approx. 10 km using the train. You spend the night at the romantic Lake Bled. Instead of the next stage (Bled - Cividale) you can also choose to spend two nights in Bled (see amended route programme further down).
Day 5: Bled rest day Enjoy one day off at the beautiful lake Bled situated in a picturesque environment, surrounded by mountains and forests.
After the transfer by train to the pass, you will reach the Soca valley, popular with canoeists and adventurists. The river accompanies you on the journey to the divided city of Gorizia. Cycling through the vineyards of the Collio you will reach Gradisca d`Isonzo, where you will spend the night.
The karst accompanies you on the way to the Adriatic Sea and the castles Duino and Miramare invite you for a last visit before you enter the former Habsburg town of Trieste.
