Villach Alpenstraße from Lake Wörthersee

The route leads from Lake Wörthersee via Rosegg and the beginning of the Rosental to Lake Faak. At the thermal spa Warmbad-Villach, take a short breather before the ascent of around 1300 meters practically continues upwards. The Villach Alpenstraße takes you through the Dobratsch Nature Park to the highest officially drivable endpoint, the Rosstratte. During the ascent, numerous parking spaces and nice viewpoints invite you to take short breaks. Upon reaching the stage destination, the Rosstratte or the Aichinger hut below provide a typical Carinthian refreshment. The descent on the moderately steep and winding mountain road is a real pleasure. Once in the valley, you still have to tackle the final section via Villach, along a short part of the Drau cycle path, and Wernberg. Back at Lake Wörthersee, after this route you have truly earned a relaxing break in one of the trendy beach bars.
