RouteXpert Review
The first route from the 12 most beautiful routes Motorradland Carinthia. Beautiful wide winding roads, at the Staller saddle pass, narrower, but regulated by traffic lights with one-way traffic, so no problem. That's why I give this route 5 stars. This route falls under the category "medium" (Austria uses "easy, medium and heavy"). Sufficient stops on the way with a nice view or to eat or drink.
Starting point of the tour is the Upper Drautal. Along the B 100 we drive towards East Tyrol to Lienz. A beautiful, southern flair mediating city in the middle of the Lienz Dolomites.
Worth seeing is the Bruck Castle and the Egger Lienz Museum. In Lienz there are also cheap tank options. Continue to Matrei. After approx. 20 km in Huben turn left to St. Jakob in the Defreggental to the Staller Sattel (2052 m). Attention: Traffic light control on the Staller saddle! The journey to Italy is possible from 0 to 15 minutes and from Italy to Austria from the 30th to 45th minute of every hour.
** The Staller Sattel is a 2052 meter high mountain pass on the border between Austria and Italy. The pass connects St. Jakob in East Tyrol's Defereggental with Olang in the South Tyrolean Antholz Valley.
Continue into the Antholzertal, down to the Olang in South Tyrol. Turn left onto the E 66 towards Innichen. Halfway up, in a south-facing side valley, the Braies Lake at 1494 m altitude, in the middle of the imposing massif of Seekofel 2810 m. The route continues in the direction of San Candido and Sillian to Strassen, where you turn right towards Kartitsch to the Carnic Dolomites Road in the Lesachtal. Past Maria Luggau to Kötschach-Mauthen and through the Upper Gailtal to Hermagor. Turn left and cross the Kreuzbergpass (1077 m) to reach the Weissensee lake or back to the Upper Drautal valley.
Between RP 13 and 14 the Garmin and the TT do not match now, here skipping RP is used. Whether you go via Sterzen or via Gailtal Bundesstrasse does not matter
The tour is located in the following protected areas: Nature Park Rieserferner-Ahrn, Fauna-Flora-Habitat-area Möserner Moor, Fauna-Flora-Habitat-Area Upper Drau, bird sanctuary Upper Drau
