There is no admission to pay, and while you swim your bike stays practically within sight. The open-air bathing area was modernised recently. There are new sanitary facilities, barrier-free access and a kiosk right by the water. ## Why the stop is worth it for cyclists Two bathing jetties and a shore of rounded gravel are enough for a proper cool-down after the stage. Because the cycle path runs right past, there is no detour at all. If you do come by car, you will find a paid car park south of the road. ## What to expect - Free admission and two bathing jetties on the Ossiacher See - Barrier-free access for people with walking difficulties - A kiosk with light refreshments right by the lake - Right on the Ossiacher-See-Radweg R2 - A children’s playground and a large lawn for sunbathing ## Good to know Come by bike rather than by car. The Bikebeach lies so conveniently on the cycle path that as a rule there is no need to look for a parking space. ## Practical information Bikebeach St. Andrä Ossiacher See Opening hours accessible at all times, no fixed opening hours Admission free of charge, parking fee for cars Distance from the apartment in Villach approx. 6 km, 12 min by car, directly on cycle route R2 Getting there Ossiachersee Süduferstraße 165A, 9523 St. Andrä/Landskron [Website](http://visitvillach.at) ## Frequently asked questions about Bikebeach St. Andrä ![](https://apartments-villach.at/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/09/luisa-kofler-apart-of-me-villach-01-320x320.avif?v=1790767112) ### Off to Villach!
