Slovenia / AustriaVillach Alpine Road


After a morning walk to Ljubelj Pass with Bronco (Garmin Connect), Nada and I hopped on our motorcycles and headed towards Austria via the Korensko sedlo (Wurzen Pass), with Beljak (Villach) as our first destination. From there, we continued onto the Villach Alpine Road, one of Austria's most scenic mountain roads. The winding route climbs high into the Dobratsch Nature Park, offering spectacular views of the surrounding peaks, valleys, and lakes, before reaching an altitude of around 1730 metres.

We took our time to enjoy the beautiful scenery, the fresh mountain air, and the impressive panoramic views from above Beljak. After a relaxing stop, we began our journey home, crossing the Ljubelj Pass and returning to Slovenia after another enjoyable day on two wheels.

At Rosstratte we explored the "Sun Trails" installation, a fascinating combination of art, astronomy and education.

The landscape around Dobratsch bears the marks of the devastating 1348 Villach earthquake, which triggered one of the largest historic rockslides in the Eastern Alps.
