Cycling Holidays from Austria to Italy, from the Alps to the Seaside. The route from Villach to Grado goes along bike paths or very quiet side roads, through small villages and picturesque landscape. Starting point of this bicycle holiday is Villach, located on the border of the Klagenfurt-basin, where the rivers "Drau" and "Gail" flow together.

This mixture of the cultures reflects itself also in the cuisine: Alpine-Austrian, Slovenian and Venetian influences characterize the gastronomic offer of the region.
