It shows the state and the neighbouring areas in exact topographical detail, complemented by modern projection technology. For planning tours, the view from above pays off: gradients and the course of the valleys can be seen at a glance. For cyclists this is more than a museum piece: you see elevation profiles and distances before you ride them. ## Why it is worth a visit for cyclists Once you have seen the topography of Carinthia from above, you plan your next tour with a more realistic feel for the climbing.
