There are roughly 70 000 bikes at Faaker See, and about 100 000 visitors. It's easy to get happily lost in all the confusion and crowds.
Faak am See is one of a few villages ringing a peaceful blue lake amid the Villacher Alps. It's beautiful and serene and the locals say it never rains, just snows in winter. But one week in September, you can lie on the green grass by the lake and look up at the clear blue sky above the mountains, and all you hear is constant low-rolling thunder.
The road around the lake us turned into a festival-only one-way system for the duration, and there is a steady stream of bikes parading around, generally looking for parking.
