Oberseidendorf

Oberseidendorf can be explored for trip planning through specific routes and cultural destinations in the surrounding area. The Kitzelberg Tour passes through the area around the village; another circular hiking trail goes through Oberseidendorf, while well-marked paths around Kleinsee offer various activities. These options differ in distance, mode of travel, and thematic focus. If you are looking for a hotel, you can think in advance about which excursions you would like to shape your stay.

Cycling around Lake Klopein

The Kitzelberg Tour is a cycling route of about 19 km around Lake Klopein and passes through the area around Oberseidendorf. A 1.6 km section runs parallel to the railway line as far as Schreckendorf. The two distances refer to different scales: around 19 km is the lake circuit, while 1.6 km is the specific section along the railway to Schreckendorf. This distinguishes the longer cycling route from the section described as far as Schreckendorf.

Hiking and activities at Kleinsee

A 6.1 km circular hiking trail starts in Seelach and passes through Schreckendorf, the Völkermarkt reservoir, the railway bridge in Seidendorf, and Oberseidendorf before returning to Seelach. Oberseidendorf is therefore along the route, while the starting and return point is in Seelach. Compared with the Kitzelberg Tour, this is a shorter route on foot with several named stops, not another lake circuit. The different types of routes help you choose excursions based on your preferred mode of travel and route.

There are well-marked paths around Kleinsee for hiking, running, and Nordic walking. All three activities share a marked trail setting by the lake. Fishing is also possible at Kleinsee. Fish species include pike, wels catfish, zander, carp, tench, and whitefish. Anyone fishing there must observe closed seasons and minimum size limits; plan this excursion in accordance with these requirements.

When choosing between the two routes, it also matters how Oberseidendorf features in them: the 6.1 km hiking trail goes through the village, while the Kitzelberg Tour passes through the surrounding area and follows a circuit around Lake Klopein.

Culture in the surrounding area

The cultural surroundings include the castle rock of Stein im Jauntal. It lies on the right bank of the Drau near St. Kanzian am Klopeiner See and is a cultural site whose history dates back to Late Antiquity. It offers a different focus for those interested in cultural history than the routes by the lake.

The Striezelwerfen takes place every year in the parish of St. Laurentius in Stein on the Sunday after the feast day of Saint Agatha. This recurring tradition and the historic cultural site offer different cultural points of interest for a stay. If the Striezelwerfen is important to your travel plans, check the event date before booking.

Getting around and arrival
