Pleasure gondolas from Gerlitzen summit to Lake Ossiach

This scenic cycling route with cable car ascent (including bike transport) starts at the foot of the Gerlitzen in Annenheim. After purchasing the ticket for the two sections plus bike transport, you float relaxedly with the gondola and a chairlift of the Gerlitzen cable cars the approximately 1410 scenic meters in elevation to the summit of the Gerlitzen (1911 m) and experience a breathtaking panorama.

When exiting, keep immediately to the left and follow the gravel road to the mountain inn Pacheiner. Just behind the hotel, the descent begins via the Gerlitzen summit road over the Stifterboden to Arriach without significant junctions. So you always stay on the toll road and reach at its end the L46 Teuchern state road, which you follow downhill again to the Millstätter federal road (B98). Here you turn left towards Innere Einöde.

From here, you use the cycle path R2b back towards Lake Ossiach. The cycle path leads through Treffen, later through Neudorf, where you cross the Ossiach street at the Billa and head towards an underpass. Before the underpass, turn right and continue to follow the cycle path towards the outflow of Lake Ossiach. Shortly before the bridge, go along St. Andräer street again towards the north. St. Andräer street is crossed again at the campsite. After a few minutes, you reach the starting point of the route again on the shore of Lake Ossiach.
