Faak Am See: Lake, Cycling Paths and Trail Center

Faak Am See lies on the shore of turquoise-blue Lake Faak and combines the experience of the lake with cycling. Here, you can plan very different kinds of days: a short cycling loop by the water, varied mountain bike trails or a visit during European Bike Week. When looking for a holiday apartment in Faak Am See, it is therefore worth first deciding on the desired mix of activity, scenery and events.

Cycling Around Lake Faak

The Lake Faak Loop – No. 20 is a short and easy cycling loop around Lake Faak. It runs almost exclusively along cycling paths around the turquoise-blue lake. If you prefer a manageable route, you can include this loop in your daily plans; the exact structure of the day is up to you.

For more athletic activities, the lake.bike Trail Center Faaker See offers varied mountain bike trails in the natural setting between Lake Faak and the Karawanks. The trail center includes the family-friendly Flowgartner Trail and Lowgartner Trail flow trails. Important for planning: Use is permitted only with a suitable bicycle and protective equipment and at your own risk. This means that even before choosing accommodation, you can determine whether your personal travel itinerary should focus more on a relaxed loop around the lake or mountain bike experiences at the trail center.

European Bike Week in September

Faak Am See has been the venue for European Bike Week since 1998. The event takes place every year in September, is free of charge and open to everyone. The program includes free demo rides on the latest Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Those who choose this date for their trip will experience Faak Am See in a special event setting. For other travel dates, the cycling loop, trail center and lakeside location remain independent options for planning your holiday.

More Options for Active Days

At the Natur Aktiv Park, visitors will find stations for endurance, coordination, strength and stretching. This complements the activities around the lake and the mountain bike trails with another form of exercise. To reach the Lake Faak Loop – No. 20, either the route via the B 83 and B 85 or via the B 84 and L 53 is indicated from Villach. A holiday apartment or holiday home in Faak Am See can thus serve as a starting point for planning your own day, without requiring specific distances or travel times.

Practical details are also part of getting oriented: the Faak am See Tourist Information has a charging station for electric cars. This gives travelers a specific place to go for further planning on site, in addition to nature and leisure activities. For your stay, first discover whether the lakeside location, the short cycling loop, the trail center or the September date of European Bike Week is the deciding factor.
