The varied course of the Forstsee round conveys all impressions of the beautiful surroundings. From the starting point at the Velden landing stage, the route leads through the town to the Franzosenkirche church and then slightly uphill through the Römerschlucht gorge to the Römerbrücke bridge. Then turn left to the idyllically situated and natural Forstsee (circular route). In the immediate vicinity is Carinthia's first storage power plant, which has been a listed building since 1998 and is open to the public throughout the summer as a show power plant. Once you have completed the circular route around the Forstsee, you can walk to the Franzosenkirche church and through the village back to the start.
The Forstsee is a popular nudist bathing place in the summer months!
