Klopeiner See – South Carinthia
sport & fun without limits.

Carinthia holiday region. No

the Klagenfurt basin, the Karawanken range, and the Saualpe and Koralpe
mountains. 1,246 km of superbly maintained trails will suit every taste
and ability. 28 mountainbiking and trekking routes, 7 themed bike trails
through South Carinthia’s lake district and the popular Drau bike trail

through mining tunnels.

Moonlight plays on the waters of Millstätter See. On a small island
there’s a festively set table and in the candlelight a couple raise their
glasses to each other, in romantic togetherness – doesn’t it sound like a
fairy tale? It is too, yet the romantic “Dinner for Two on Millstätter See” can
be yours. The exclusive package includes an aperitif, a motorboat ride
and a 7-course dinner.
Sachertorte. Created in 1832 by 16 year old apprentice chef Franz Sacher
at the court of Prince Metternich, it must be the most famous chocolate cake in the
world today. The recipe for the original Sachertorte is a well-kept secret, known only
to confectioners at Hotel Sacher in Vienna. Despite this, there is hardly a cake shop
Bathing delights at lakes Weissensee
and Pressegger See
Summer sunshine playing on crystal-clear, pure bathing lakes, and over
two thousand hours of sunshine per year – these are just some of the
advantages of a group of holiday regions in south-west Carinthia, right on
the Italian frontier: the Gailtal, Gitschtal and Lesachtal valleys, the Weissensee
and Nassfeld-Hermagor-Pressegger See. Relax your body, mind
and soul while sunbathing, taking healthy exercise or enjoying a swim in
the pleasantly warm Pressegger See (up to 28° C), or the fjord-like Weissensee
(up to 24° C).
Kids enjoy special programmes
in Carinthia’s
No. 1 Adventure Park at
Pressegger See. Besides
bathing, diving and
swimming, the lakes are
also a true paradise for
surfers and sailors.
