Dramatic roadblocks to the Dolomite Cycling tour - that's the timetables!

Plöckenpass und Lesachtal, Kärnten, Österreich - On June 8, 2025, the Carinthia region will again become the scene of the popular Dolomitenrundfahrt and the extreme competition of the Supergirodolomiti. Organized by the cross-country and bike club Lienzer Dolomites, hundreds of cycling enthusiasts gather from near and far to take part in this traditional event. However, for residents and road users, this entails some significant traffic disruptions.

The routes in the Plöckenpass and Lesachtal are particularly affected, where temporary roadblocks and attitudes are waiting for the participants and the surrounding population.
