Klagenfurt to Lienz along the Drautalbahn

I shall be riding alongside the River Drau on The Drautalbahn, the Drau Valley Railway. On a sunny winter's morning, this ride should provide some lovely river, valley and mountain views as the line wends its way to Lienz. This is Part 1 of a two-part series, where I'll be heading out from Klagenfurt over the Austria-Italy border to Bruneck (or Brunico) to get a taste of both the Drautalbahn, but also part of the Pustertalbahn (the Puster Valley Railway).
