Throwback 2023
In 2023, the European Bike Week celebrated its 25th anniversary. Of course, there was again the Harley Village around the farmers' market area with numerous Harley dealers, exhibitors and a varied live music programme. Even away from the Bike Week centre in Faak, a varied supporting programme, such as "The Lake Rocks" concerts, once again provided entertainment.
The traditional highlight was, as every year, the legendary Harley Parade on Saturday.
All information about the European Bike Week 2023 can be found in the brochure 2023 to download or browse through.

Faaker See, tastier than ever
With the extraordinary culinary diversity of the Alps-Adriatic region right on its doorstep, our border triangle has always been a popular meeting place for gourmets. Building on this, Villach and its surroundings have now established themselves as a special area of enjoyment in the heart of Carinthia, above all thanks to the KÜCHENKULT initiative.
As refreshment stops for the excursions, we would like to draw special attention to the Carinthian Slow Food establishments, which conjure up the highest regional quality on the plates.
