Slow Trail Römerschlucht

__NO_NAME__
A SLOW TRAIL on Lake Wörthersee couldn't get off to a better start: hikers are greeted by the imposing mustard yellow façade of the famous Schlosshotel Velden at the landing stage in Velden. The feeder to the actual route initially takes us along the promenade past the back of the Casino Velden up to the main road in Velden.
Just a few kilometers later, we pass the starting point of the SLOW TRAIL at the Franzosenkirche church. While a short section of the route takes us through the outskirts of Velden, the actual hiking experience begins at the entrance to the Römerschlucht gorge.
The route climbs gently along the Köstenberg stream up to the Roman bridge. The combination of the gentle babbling of the stream and the rustling of the green canopy of leaves conveys a decelerating feeling and invites you to pause for a moment.
At the Römerbrücke bridge, the path turns sharply to the right and leads slightly uphill on a wide, easily accessible path towards Forstsee lake.
This idyllic natural lake is a popular destination for wild bathers, hikers, runners, fishermen or simply nature lovers almost all year round. The approx. 3 km long trail to Forstsee alternates between easy forest paths and challenging single trails.
Passing a wrought-iron memorial cross, the well-marked trail leads partly through ferns and grasses. On early morning hiking tours, it can happen that your clothing gets a little morning dew on it.
The start of the Forstsee area is marked by a barrier. On the spacious, wide path, you will soon discover the Forstsee lake on your right.
The SLOW TRAIL almost completely encircles the Forstsee, with the north side still running directly along the shore of the lake. The route along the south side leads us away from the lake at the beginning, into a very atmospheric section with beautiful, easily accessible hiking trails.
Hikers are occasionally encountered. In the last third of the lake loop, the path leads over small footbridges close to the towering rock faces. Here you almost walk over the water. However, the path is well secured and easy to follow, even for less experienced hikers.
The next destination on the route is the "Hohes Kreuz" viewpoint. Here you briefly leave the marked hiking trail to enjoy a fantastic view over the entire Velden Bay, the Karawanken and Julian Alps.
Back on the actual SLOW TRAIL, the route then leads quickly downhill back to the center of Velden.
The Forstsee is a popular nudist bathing area in the summer months!
