Ciclovia Alpe-Adria Cycle Path, 3rd stage: Mallnitz - Spittal an der Drau

The cycle path leads from Mallnitz station to the left, along the federal road, to Obervellach. However, a detour to the right into the town is recommended, either for a stop, visiting the BIOS National Park Center Mallnitz, or for an overnight stay before continuing. 

In Obervellach, the Alpe-Adria Cycle Path joins the Glockner Cycle Path R8. Shortly before the junction of the Mallnitz federal road with the Mölltal federal road, the path branches left into the town center. The historic town center of Obervellach invites you to rest and sightseeing. The cycle path now continues with slight ups and downs, partly on village roads, through the villages of Stallhofen, Gratschach, and Gappen to Penk. Here the path switches to the right (southern) side of the valley and passes Danielsberg on the way to Kolbnitz, the valley village of the Kreuzeckbahn.

Past the Möll or the reservoir, the path continues to Mühldorf. Shortly after the village, the path leads through the recreational area with a bathing pond. Finally, the last village in the Möll Valley, Möllbrücke, is reached. The cycle path leads over the "Möll Bridge" to the right, through the town center, and joins the Drava Cycle Path R1 opposite the station.

Here we ride left, about 1 km along the federal road, before the cycle path leaves the road to the right and continues through the wide Lurnfeld towards Spittal an der Drau.

Coming from Salzburg (Bad Gastein - Böckstein), the cycle path uses the ÖBB car shuttle Tauern Railway to cross the main Alpine ridge.
The trains depart from Böckstein always 20 minutes past the hour, the travel time to Mallnitz is about 13 minutes.

In the opposite direction, the trains always depart 10 minutes before the hour in Mallnitz.
