Pay at the gate, then it’s 14.5 km and ten hairpins from the Drau valley to the Seetal car park near 1,900 m, with Lake Millstatt and the Nockberge unrolling below. The road gives up just 250 m short of the Goldeck’s 2,142 m summit, and you won’t feel short-changed.
This toll road climbs about 14.5 km from Zlan above the Drau valley to the Seetal car park near 1900 m on the Goldeck, ending some 250 m below the 2142 m summit. Ten hairpins link steep ramps with grades reaching roughly 10 percent and wide views over Lake Millstatt and the Nockberge. Mind the toll station and the road’s seasonal May-to-October opening.
