Oberseidendorf: Discover cycling paths, Kleinsee and culture

Oberseidendorf combines several travel ideas without being limited to a single holiday theme. The Kitzelberg Tour passes through the Oberseidendorf area and runs as a cycling route of approximately 19 km around Lake Klopein. There are also hiking trails at Kleinsee, a site of cultural and historical interest near St. Kanzian am Klopeiner See, and distinctive regional traditions. Those looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home can therefore choose the location according to their preferred travel rhythm: cycle around, plan a hike, fish by the water or gather cultural impressions.

Cycling around Lake Klopein

The Kitzelberg Tour is approximately 19 km long and runs around Lake Klopein. Along the way, it passes through the Oberseidendorf area. For planning your day, a 1.6 km section that runs parallel to the railway line as far as Schreckendorf is also of interest. This information makes it easy to classify the tour without anticipating a specific travel time. When choosing accommodation in Oberseidendorf, you can therefore pay particular attention to whether a cycling stage should be the focus of your trip and which other experiences you would like to combine with this day.

Hiking, running and fishing at Kleinsee

There are well-marked trails around Kleinsee for hiking, running and Nordic walking. This allows you to vary your trip planning: one day can be devoted to the cycling route and another to a walk. In Kleinsee, you can fish for pike, wels catfish, zander, carp, tench and whitefish, subject to closed seasons and minimum size limits. The specific conditions are part of the preparations and should be taken into account when planning. A holiday apartment or holiday home in Oberseidendorf may be of interest to travellers who want to combine nature experiences and different activities during their holiday.

Another route leads from Seelach via Schreckendorf, the Völkermarkt reservoir, the railway bridge in Seidendorf and Oberseidendorf back to Seelach. This circular hiking trail is 6.1 km long. Its clearly described route makes it easy to include the trail when putting together different days of excursions. You can decide for yourself whether to use a single circular trail or combine it with other activities around Oberseidendorf and Kleinsee.

Culture and regional traditions

The Burgfelsen of Stein im Jauntal is located on the right bank of the Drau near St. Kanzian am Klopeiner See and is a cultural site dating back to Late Antiquity. For those interested in culture, it offers a historical connection distinct from the cycling and hiking activities. In the parish of St. Laurentius in Stein, the so-called Striezelwerfen also takes place every year on the Sunday after the feast day of Saint Agatha. The tradition is tied to this date and can therefore be specifically incorporated into your trip planning.

Getting there and rural impressions

For orientation when travelling to Oberseidendorf, there is the SÜD056 shared stop. It is located near Piskertschach on Tainacher Straße.

The family-run Waschnig adventure farm is also one of the points of interest mentioned. It is situated in a quiet location, surrounded by meadows and forests, and approximately 2 km from Lake Klopein. This place offers a different focus from the cycling route or cultural site and can be noted in your trip planning as a rural experience.
