To round off the anniversary weekend, we’d like to say thank you to the community: on Sunday, there will be 10 hours of free trail access for everyone with a lake.bike anniversary voucher (available on Thursday and Friday at the lake.bike information stand, and at the pump track on Sunday). There will also be a pump track challenge for the whole family (ages 4 to 99) and bookable ride-outs.

Yes, all activities are free of charge. However, advance booking is required for some events.

For selected programme items, binding registration via our registration form is required. This applies in particular to ride-outs with a limited number of participants (8 people per group), the children’s technical training session on Friday, the Pumptrack Challenge and the LINES Photo Session on the Jumpgartner Trail. Registration is open until no later than 1 hour before the respective event. This allows us to plan group sizes, safety and quality as effectively as possible.

Young cycling enthusiasts will also find plenty to enjoy during the anniversary weekend. The programme includes children’s activities, technical training sessions, a children’s pump track race and family-friendly events taking place around the farmers’ market area.
Whether it’s a first taste of cycling, fun technical training or simply a relaxing day enjoying local food and music: the weekend offers plenty of opportunities for shared experiences.

As well as the sporting programme, you can look forward to a relaxed atmosphere with regional cuisine, music, exhibitors and a venue for socialising, celebrating and unwinding. On Thursday and Friday, the farmers’ market site in Faak am See will become the central hub for socialising, finding out more and enjoying the anniversary celebrations.

The public car park at the Faaker Bauernmarkt event site is available for all programme events.

On Saturday, a bike shuttle will run between 9.00 and 16.00 pm, taking all cyclists and event-goers from the car park at the farmers’ market site to the Baumgartnerhof.

You can also take public transportation to Faak am See, for example, on the S5 from Villach.

For liability reasons, a valid trail ticket is required to take part in all ride-outs. On request, we will provide you with a valid trail ticket free of charge so that you can take part in a ride-out. Please indicate on the registration form when you sign up that you require a free trail ticket. We’ll take care of the rest.

During the anniversary weekend, a range of ride-outs will be on offer for different riding levels. You can find details in the relevant programme description. To ensure the best possible experience, group sizes are limited to a maximum of eight people per guide.
