This tour not only promises top sporting performance, but also one of the most beautiful views in the country. You set off directly from the monastery in a south-easterly direction to climb one of the sunniest places in Austria: the mountain village of Diex.

Tour highlights

  • Diex- The box seat: The ascent to Diex is legendary. Situated on a sun-drenched high plateau, the village with its characteristic fortified churches offers a breathtaking panoramic view over the Klagenfurt basin as far as the Karawanken.
  • Descent with far-reaching views: After the mountain classification in Diex, there is a flowing descent towards Völkermarkt, where you can enjoy the view over the Drau Valley.
  • Völkermarkt & reservoir: The route takes you along the edge of the district town of Völkermarkt before heading back towards Längsee through the gently undulating lowlands.
  • Rechargeyour batteries at the abbey: Back at St. Georgen Abbey, the tranquillity of our historic walls awaits you - the perfect place to replenish your energy levels with a regional snack.
