Take advantage of an offer from Austrian Railways and travel by train (with your bike) to Innichen / San Candido. From there, you can bike back along the Drau bike path. Along the route, you'll find many destinations and restaurants: The historic "Aigner Badl," the Vitalpinum, the Galitzenklamm, and the Roman town Aguntum are directly on the Drau bike path. You can also cool off at one of the many outdoor pools or in the bathing areas along the Drau.
On the Isel cycle path, you can bike about 29 kilometers to Matrei in East Tyrol. The path has a gentle incline of about 1%, making it perfect for families.
