Vienna to Trieste Bike Ride Day 7



Another misty morning but with few miles to ride we could afford to wait until the sun had done its work. The first 3 miles were on a busyish main road before we dived onto the cycleways that followed the rivers, lakes and threaded the villages.

A lengthy lunch in Ossian on the shores of the lake was followed by a swift traverse of Villach to reach the hotel just 5 minutes after the Guflers (who had driven over from the Tirol).

The forecast isn't great but we are hoping to cross the border into Slovenia tomorrow and, with luck and a following wind, we might be in Grado or Trieste in time to the catch the last ferry of the year to Venice
