A few months ago, we decided to cycle from Salzburg, Austria to Slovenia. On our 3rd day, we had the easiest task, just follow the stream of river Zilja / Gail all the way from Koča-Muta / Kötschach-Mauthen to Baško jezero / Lake Faak. Half way to our destination, Jerneja and Marko left the group, so only Nada, Rok, Vlado and me continued to our destination.
We enjoyed all surfaces on Gailtal Cycle Path R3. The "Gailtal Radweg R3" cycle path starts in Kötschach-Mauthen and follows the Gail river through Nötsch as far as Beljak / Villach.
Mobile Chicken House. Shall we pick up some eggs for later?
Zilja / Gail is the largest right tributary of the Drava.

In Blače / Vorderberg, we made a longer break
Cheers to an easy ride
Time to move on
Jerneja and Marko left us. They wanted to see a little bit of Italy.
Baško jezero / Faaker See / Lake Faak just called us to jump in.
And he's gone.

In 1855, Lake Faak inspired the local priest Franc Treiber to compose the song Nmav čez izaro (Over the Lake), which soon became one of the best-known Slovene folk songs, and still today is considered the unofficial anthem of the Carinthian Slovenes.
