We are an all-terrain cycling cosmos.
This means that our routes are not only on gravel, but also on other big fun all-terrain surfaces – from tarmac roads for smooth rolling and hard speeding, to rough side roads with potholes, to gravel paths and forest trails. The routes are selected as best, most beautiful and exciting as possible according to the criteria described below.

All routes were planned based on official cycle paths displayed in Kagis – the official maps of the province of Carinthia – and with the route planning app komoot.

Of course, we are not perfect, and we may have made mistakes in our route planning or overlooked changes on particular sections.
Errors can be made by the app and can lead to incorrectly modified routes when exporting as a GPX file or to other route planning and navigation programmes.

 If komoot displays routes as „cycling is not permitted“, this does not mean that this information is correct. Personal permits have been obtained for some sections of routes, which means that they are legally accessible, even if this is not indicated in Kagis or komoot.

Open route cosmos

“Panta rhei”, everything flows – and so does the collection of all-terrain routes in the region.

On the one hand, the routes are located in nature and were created by human hands, feet or machines. Therefore, there is always the possibility that parts of them are under construction, (temporarily) closed or impassable due to natural forces.

On the other hand, fortunately, the legal possibilities are constantly changing, and with them the opportunity to create new routes in the region.

We appreciate any information about the current conditions on the routes, as well as suggestions for new routes for the W-GRAVEL collection in all levels of difficulty. The only requirement is that these routes are officially and legally accessible.

We appreciate any notice about the recent conditions on the track and for new routes suggestions for the W-GRAVEL Collection in all levels of difficulty. The only condition is that these routes are also officially and legally accessible.

We are constantly creating new routes ourselves, i.e. legalising routes for everyone and thus making them officially accessible. If you have discovered errors or problems on our routes in the W-Gravel region during your ride, or if you have suggestions for improvement, we would be happy to receive your feedback.

Water supply along the routes

A few highly motivated and wonderful individuals have compiled a list of all drinking fountains in Carinthia and the surrounding regions, which you can find under this link:
