Lake Egelsee, a natural treasure | nock/bike Tour 37

The starting point of the tour is the beautiful Seeboden Bay. From the starting point, take a short asphalt road along the southern shore of Lake Millstätter See.

Attention, after approx. 1.5 km the tour leaves the Millstätter See cycle path - turn right here onto the slightly ascending gravel road.

The tour leaves the forest road in a striking bend and continues on a short root path. Inexperienced people may have to push a few meters here.

After about 6 km you reach the Egelsee. This natural moor lake is a natural jewel and popular excursion destination.

At Egelsee, always follow the signs for the “Lug ins Land” inn. From the Gasthof Lug into the country via Baldersdorf, Zgurn and Krieselsdorf towards Spittal / Edling.

At Edling it is possible to turn off towards Spittal an der Drau - otherwise continue on a side road with little traffic to the town of St. Wolfgang.

Alternatively, the tour can start at Spittal an der Drau train station. Here you first follow the Ciclovia Alpe Adria / R1 until you reach the intersection with the “Übers Land” road. Turn left here and follow “Übers Land” until the traffic lights. Continue straight ahead to Edling and St. Sigmund Straße. From here the tour is described.
