From Villachs Old town direct into adventure

Base camp for paddle & bike fans

The leisure BASE of the paddling city

Since the summer of 2022, a separate SUP, kayak and canoe rental has been in operation in the middle of Villach's old town. The newly created FreizeitBASE on the Drau terraces, directly below the Congress Center Villach, offers experiences on and next to the Drau. The Draupaddler, the Radbutler and Alps2Adria are the first points of contact when it comes to paddling and cycling on the Drau.

On to the river hike

Entry into the Draupaddelweg

Whenever the weather and the flow speed of the Drava allow, visitors can rent a canoe, kayak or SUP and explore the city up and down the river.

During the tour on the Drava, the bike butler will store the bikes, and rented equipment will be returned at the starting point or can be left at predefined exit points, such as the Silbersee. From there, you can take e-scooters or public transport back to the city center.

A perfect combination

4 experiences in one place

The FreizeitBASE combines four different leisure activities in one of the most beautiful places in the center of Villach. Only a two-minute walk from the main square, an attractive meeting point for cyclists and paddlers has emerged directly on the Drau River.
