From Ferlach to the Rabenberg and back again via the villages.
This tour initially leads along the Drau cycle path R1 to Feistritz and further on via side roads back to St. Johann. From here it's quite a crisp climb up an asphalt road to the Rabenberg. Once you have reached the viewing platform, you have the Rosental valley at your feet. The view sweeps over the Klagenfurt basin to the Tauern and Nockberge mountains. After a rapid descent down into the valley, the tour continues leisurely along the villages and fields back to the starting point.
