Gerlitzen Alpe Road Bike Tour
You start your tour at the Gerlitzen Kanzelbahn cable car in Annenheim. From here, cycle west to the Billa supermarket and turn right onto the side road to the town of Treffen am Ossiacher See. Through the town, follow the main road to the Köttwein/Pilzmuseum/Hinterbuchholz junction, then turn right again.
Continue to Hinterbuchholz, and from there, continue on the main road towards Arriach to the next junction. Turn right again and follow the path to the turnoff to the Gerlitzen Alpe. This "oh wonder" branches off to the right and leads you to the summit of the Gerlitzen Alpe. Once here, you'll enjoy incredible views of all of Carinthia.
Time for the descent
This takes you along the same road. In the valley, you take the main road towards Himmelberg. Leaving the village, you continue along the forest until you reach an inconspicuous junction at the end of the left-hand bend. At this point, turn right and follow the road to Schleichenfeld. From here, you continue to Nadling and Tiffen and finally to the Ossiach junction. A railway crossing takes you to the southern shore of Lake Ossiach and follows the lakeshore to the starting point of the Gerlitzen Kanzelbahn cable car.
