NOCKBIKE Region – Mountain Biking Between Mountains & Lakes
Alpine adventure meets authentic summer retreat vibes: the NOCKBIKE Region of Lake Millstatt – Bad Kleinkirchheim – Nock Mountains combines flowing trails, gentle summits, and crystal-clear lakes into a unique biking experience in Carinthia. Between Europe’s longest flow trail, scenic natural trails, and relaxed touring routes stretching from mountain peaks to lake shores, there is always enough time during your MTB holiday in the Nock Mountains for a refreshing dip in the lake.
Flow, Trails & Panoramas – are you ready to Nockbike?
With 45 kilometres of trails, more than 300 kilometres of MTB routes, and over 550 kilometres of scenic leisure cycling routes, the NOCKBIKE Region is one of Carinthia’s most diverse biking destinations. Its centrepiece is the legendary Flow Country Trail in Bad Kleinkirchheim – Europe’s longest flow trail at around 15 kilometres. Corner after corner, the trail winds through the gentle Nock Mountains, where rollers, berms, and perfect flow create an exhilarating rollercoaster-like riding experience. Along the way, spectacular panoramic views open up across the Karawanks, the Julian Alps, and the mountains of Carinthia.
Those looking for varied nature experiences with roots, forest sections, and breathtaking lake views will also love the Alter Almweg-Trail (9 km / 900 m descent) and the Rossalmhütten Trail (2.9 km / 385 m descent). Thanks to cable cars, shuttle services, and modern infrastructure, a mountain bike holiday in the NOCKBIKE Region makes it easy to combine flowing bike park laps with alpine tours and relaxing moments of enjoyment.
Bike & Bath – Carinthian Summer Bliss on Two Wheels
What makes the NOCKBIKE Region truly special is its unique combination of mountains and lakes. After an alpine ride, cooling off is just moments away at Lake Millstatt, Lake Brennsee, or Lake Turracher See – the mix of mountain, bike, and bath is simply unbeatable. Before taking the plunge into the refreshing water, you can explore the gentle side of Carinthia along scenic panoramic routes or seek out challenges on more technical trails and long-distance tours.
The Trail Area Turracher Höhe expands the offer with varied flow lines, northshore elements, rollers, and bridges set against a stunning alpine backdrop. At the same time, the region is considered a true e-bike paradise: more than 1,000 kilometres of cycling routes, numerous rental stations and battery-swapping points, as well as rustic mountain huts, make exploring the area during your MTB holiday in the NOCKBIKE Region especially comfortable. And after the ride? Enjoy Carinthian Slow Food while watching the sun set over the water.
