In just a few kilometres you reach the well-known Drauradweg, which takes you either to Italy or to Slovenia. Every stage can be ridden by families and professional athletes alike. The Gailradweg is a lovely alternative, taking you as far as Kötschach or to the neighbouring town of Villach. The moderately difficult road-cycling route to Italy and Slovenia is just as popular. Is tearing down a trail on your mountain bike exactly your thing? Then you will like the “Kopein Trail”, 1.8 km long. This singletrail runs through an idyllic forest and ends with a few jumps and rollers. Experts will surely enjoy the 1.6 km “Samonigg Trail”. It lies at the foot of the Karawanken and offers not only a fast, thrilling ride but also a lovely view of the Faaker See. Anyone who has not had enough yet can work the 0.7 km “Shorty Trail” into the two trails mentioned above. ![](https://apartments-faakersee.at/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2026/09/apartments-faaker-see-waldweg-s-320x320.avif?v=1790767109) ## Running & Nordic walking on the Faaker See The area around the Faaker See offers varied terrain for all joggers, runners and Nordic walkers. You can choose between flat courses, hilly and steep routes, or running paths through dense forest. The routes come in different levels of difficulty and lengths, and many of them offer a great view of the surrounding mountains and the crystal-clear lake. The circular path of about 10 km around the Faaker See is the right way into the joys of running for every runner and Nordic walker. Different surfaces such as gravel, forest floor and tarmac make this route, which is also suitable for beginners, a varied one. If you like more of a challenge, you can take on the 5 km running route up to the Taborhöhe with an ascent of 120 metres, and you will be rewarded at the end with a lovely view across the Faaker See. If running alone is not enough for you, we recommend the “NaturAktivPark Faaker See” fitness trail. Along the route you will find a total of 20 stations where you can put your fitness to the test.
