RouteXpert Review Beyond Lake Millstatt, Carinthia's second largest lake, the Malta Hochalmstrasse (toll road) leads us to Austria's highest dam, the Kölnbreinsperre. Before that we had a nice stop on RP 8 at the “Wasserspiele- und Erlebenispark Fallbach with a nice view of the Fallbach waterfall. Innumerable waterfalls give the valley the nickname "Tal der stürzend Wasser".
The route from the 14.4 km long alpine road to Kölnbrein-Staumauer is really beautiful! The tunnels and hairpin bends hewn from the rocks are examples of high alpine road construction techniques and there are several beautiful "viewpoints".
We continue to the end at the Maltatal RP 9 with its "skywalk" dam.
You will find a hotel, a museum and a nice restaurant, open from the beginning of May to usually the end of October.
The Kölnbrein-Staumauer is with 200 meters the highest dam in Austria and can also be viewed from inside during a tour. In the "Erlebniszentrum" next to the tower hotel you learn more about the construction and technology of this dam.
We return the same way and visit the private Porsche car museum of Mr. Helmut Pfeifhofer RP 10 in Gmünd. Do not expect anything gigantic modern here, no it is the private collection in a very large garden house, say this gentleman. When the weather is nice there is a terrace in the garden where you can get coffee and ice cream. http://www.auto-museum.at/
Over the Katschberg or Katschberghöhe RP 14, known as a beautiful ski area in winter, we head back to the hotel.
This was a beautiful motorcycle tour!
Due to the toll roads: Most hoteliers give motorcyclists a pass (Kärnten Card) for a free ride on Nockalmstrasse, Malta Hochalmstrasse and Grossglockner when booking a minimum of 3 nights.
When creating the route, the settings in the toolkit, "disable seasonal closure" were checked (this is only possible in the Lord map), since these passes are closed in the winter.
