HP1 Guggenberg route

The Guggenberg is a wonderfully pleasant mountain to ride west of Hermagor. The route leads over paved roads, gravel paths, and short sections along a forest road.

It is known for its wonderful view far over the Gail valley and offers a unique panorama of the Carnic Alps. Especially the trail down to Jenig offers plenty of riding fun for everyone, as the route is easy to ride and only requires solid riding skills for safe navigation.

The route is also suitable for e-bikes.

Bike rental directly at the starting point!

The route is marked with HP1 signage.

Suggestion

Definitely make a short stop at Guggenberg and enjoy the wonderful view!
