My BikeTIME in the NOCKBIKE region

Here I am travelling between mountains and lakes

Long or short, steep or flat, comfortable or challenging - the NOCKBIKE region offers a variety of options for every cyclist. With a total of 45 trails, 300 kilometres of MTB routes and 550 kilometres of leisurely bike tours, it connects the most beautiful cycling destinations.Relaxed cycling on the Millstätter See cycling trail or along the Tiebel, Drau or Möll rivers. Cycle uphill on mountain roads and alpine paths. Enjoy a mountain sprint on the Nockalm road or on the last few metres to the summit. Get into the flow on the longest Flow Country Trail in Europe: everyone can decide for themselves how far, how steep and how spectacular the bike tours should be - there is something for everyone in the NOCKBIKE Region.

Holidays by bike

Cycling and relaxing - nowhere is this better than in the NOCKBIKE region. A cycling holiday here sometimes starts with breakfast on the lakeside terraces and almost always with a magnificent mountain panorama. In the evening, a swim in one of the thermal spas or a dip in the warm waters of Lake Brennsee, Lake Millstätter See or Lake Maltschacher See await.

And in between?

While some are out and about with the family on the Millstätter See cycling trail, taking a dip in the lake or shortening the route with the "Peter Pan" cycle ferry, others are looking for a challenge on Flow Trails, on nature single trails or on tours towards the summit.

A few metres in altitude can be conquered in between with the Goldeck mountain railway, the Bad Kleinkirchheim mountain railways or the mountain railways on the Turrach. Whether mountain bike or e-mountain bike, everyone decides for themselves. Especially in the early and late season, a tour on a racing bike through the Nockberge mountains or to the nearby Lake Weißensee is also recommended.

Flow feeling between Kaiserschmarrn and sunset cocktails: the Nockberge mountains taste particularly delicious, and this is primarily due to the hosts, who put their passion into the production of regional specialities.

... on the mountain and by the lake

After conquering the summit, a visit to one of the numerous alpine huts, mountain inns or wine taverns is almost a must. Marvellous panoramic views, home-made specialities such as sweet Mirnock eyes, fresh buttermilk or a glass of Carinthian wine are a treat for all the senses.

Children's bikes, e-bikes, gravel bikes as well as tandems, bike accessories such as helmets, bike trailers or child seats don't need to be in your holiday luggage, but can be hired from the hire and service stations.

TIP

Well shortened with shuttle and boat

Some tours really work your legs! Like the one down the valley on the nature single trails to Feld am See. The NOCKBIKE shuttle takes bikers back to Bad Kleinkirchheim in comfort. In the summer months, the "Peter Pan" bike ferry connects the north and south shores of Lake Millstätter See. Simply hop on and continue cycling on the other side!
