Visiting this beautiful part of Austria – PETZEN Top of Südkärnten ⛰

in #travel5 years ago (edited)

Finally, the flow trail is open, that means its time for some adrenaline.
I really needed some relaxation, and this is the best thing to forget everything and you can just enjoy. Why? Because you do not have time to think about anything else. Your only thought in your head is that you will come to the end without falling. And guess what? I made it 😊

Petzen is a mountain in Carinthia (Kärnten), on the Slovenian-Austrian border. You have a lot to see on Slovenian site to, but on the Austrian site, you have a bike park and that is crazy fun.

This mountain area belongs to the Geopark Karavanke under the UNESCO, which is the first geopark in Slovenia and the first cross-border geopark between Slovenia and Austria.

We have legend about this mountain. The legend says that King Matjaž sleeps under this mountain. He was very beloved king and because of that other rulers united against him. With the surviving soldiers, he hid in the cave under Peca, who opened herself and hide them. In the cave, this king sleeps at the table and when his beard is wrapped around the stone table nine times, he will wake up. And then the good times will return to Carinthia.

Petzen stands for mountain experience in winter and summer. It offers amazing views, snow and bike experiences, on the top you have lake, but is just to cold for swimming and nature is just astonishing. ⛰

Downhill and freeride on the mountain

In addition to numerous cross-country trails, Petzen also offers a freeride, as well as a downhill route. With a length of 10 kilometers, the Flow Country Trail Petzen is one of the longest of its kind in Europe. The track is rather easy and therefore suitable for newcomers, but you need to hold your brake very hard 😊 Even advanced riders will enjoy the Flow Trail. You have advance trail too, but the downhill track Petzen Thriller requires a little more driving experience. The trail is completely natural and therefore sometimes a bit tricky. Slippery spots, stones, and roots make true downhill pleasure. Opened in 2016, the trail starts at the mountain station and ends in the fourth section of the Flow Country Trail Petzen. In the summer of 2017, it was extended again and is now an impressive seven kilometers long.

It's not a problem if you don't own a bike. You can rent a bike there with full-face helmets and protectors. You will also find a practice course with ripples, waves and pump track.

Just for info. You don't need to walk, the gondola will take you up and then you can start enjoying over 10 kilometers of freeriding on the Petzen Flow Country Trail.

So if you're ever in the near, I really recommend this destination. Pure adrenaline 🤘🤘

Unfortunately you don’t have so much time to take photos because you are on your bike all the time.😊

p.s.

Tina a si mogoče vprašala Marjanka za delegacijo steemmonsters death teama (alpha izdaja)? Odprl bi nov račun in z njim igral death team. S temi novimi tokeni, ki so jih uvedli bi lahko zaslužil kar nekaj steema in nekaj od tega delil tudi z Marjankom. Obljubim lahko vsaj 10 STEEM na mesec za plačilo v zameno za delegacijo.

It is fun if you don't 't fall 🤣
Marjanko te danes kontaktira

Did you fall? :)

Hvala, da si mu sporočila. Dosegljiv bom na discordu.

I didn't 🤣
