Sekull: Hiking and Cycling

Several hiking and cycling routes run through Sekull, raising different questions for trip planning. Would you like to assess a longer hiking stage, consider a shorter section, or choose a cycling route based on the places it passes through? The Wörthersee Circular Hiking Trail is represented by two sections with different estimated durations.

Hiking: Assessing Distance and Time

The second section of the Wörthersee Circular Hiking Trail runs from Pritzschitz via Sekull and Forstsee to Velden. This stage is listed as approximately 22 kilometres, about 5.5 hours, and around 635 metres of ascent and descent. This gives you three different planning measures side by side: distance, estimated duration, and elevation gain. Together, they provide a clear profile of this stage and help you distinguish the time required from the elevation profile. Check trail conditions before setting out.

Another section of the Wörthersee Circular Hiking Trail runs from Hohe Gloriette to Sekull and takes about 45 minutes. The actual duration may vary depending on conditions. Compared with the approximately 5.5 hours for the second section, this is a considerably shorter estimated duration; the two figures refer to different sections of the same hiking trail. So if you are planning your day around time, note the specific section. The shared name “Wörthersee Circular Hiking Trail” alone does not tell you whether the route is the stage from Pritzschitz or the section from Hohe Gloriette. The approximately 22 kilometres and 5.5 hours apply to the second section as a whole; do not apply these figures to the shorter route from Hohe Gloriette to Sekull.

The Wörthersee Trail runs through the municipality of Techelsberg am Wörthersee and includes Sekull and Forstsee along its route. The Cultural Hiking Trail runs from the tourist information office to Hohe Gloriette and then continues towards Sekull. The places along each route clearly distinguish them: Sekull and Forstsee are included on the trail’s stated route, while the tourist information office and Hohe Gloriette are the named stops on the Cultural Hiking Trail.

Cycling Routes and Getting There

The places along each route also help distinguish the two cycling routes. “Through the Hinterland Around Lake Wörthersee” runs from Moosburg via Windischberg to Sekull and then on to Lake Wörthersee.

These differences in the places along each route make it easier to name the right route in your day’s itinerary and distinguish it from the hiking trails described above.

The ways to reach the Sekull wayside shrine include train, car, on foot, or by bike. Check local conditions before travelling.

Choosing a Tour and Finding a Hotel

This lets you connect your hotel search to a specific travel plan without treating the different tours as the same route.
