Steinfeld

Spend a half‑day in Steinfeld as a cyclist stop‑over; add a night if you want a quiet B&B by the Drava river.

Steinfeld is a tiny Carinthian village on the Lienz‑Spittal railway and the Drava cycle path. It offers a few B&Bs and a campsite, making it a convenient rest point for cyclists or rail travelers heading to the lakes or the Alps. One afternoon is enough to stretch, refuel and enjoy the riverside, while a night adds a relaxed rural stay.
