Magnificent Trails, Spectacular Scenery and Artistic Attractions in 2006: Carinthia and the Power of Water Carinthia is Austria's ‘water.realm’, whose waterways guests have been exploring since 2004. This year one region will again become the centre of discoveries, exhibits and extraordinary trails focusing on the world's most valuable resource: water! Located at the confluence of two rivers is Austria's first ‘water art town’, Gmünd. Here the art of water is presented in all its facets. With the Gmünd Culture Pass guests can visit three international exhibits, the ‘Amazing World of Water’ with an exciting hands-on experimental station as well as numerous open-air events on the squares and streets of the medieval city. The Water Power adventure trip offers a versatile programme for the entire family. The fairytale trail in Trebesing, which is known for the longest suspension bridge in the Alps (175 metres), has been expanded by three new attractions this year. The theme trail in Innerkrems known as the Wasserknappenweg is also legendary with its search for the Nock dwarves' treasure, an informative and entertaining treasure hunt with numerous surprises. Located beside Carinthia's highest waterfall, the new water playground and amusement park in Malta is unique. Here kids will be thrilled with the water laboratory, hands-on water huts, a sensory platform, a mill as well as the water-and-mud pit. The unique thing about WasserPower 2006 is that it is located in two national parks, the Hohe Tauern and Nock Mountains, which attract guests with their spectacular nature experiences such as the Maltein rock formations, the Pölla Valley stream trail, the Nöring water-and-sun trail, traditional farm spas in Karlbad, Austria's first wellness farm and the highest dam in Austria, the Kölnbrein.

WaterGold is still flowing as well, with the journey of exploration now into its third year. WaterGold in the Upper Möll Valley can be visited starting in May. In Mörtschach two exhibition farms will provide insight into the role of water in the manufacture of wool. The Mentlhof in Apriach invites guests into the past world of miners, where water was the driving power for mills, and for smelting and threshing was indispensable. In addition to the Wasserwunderweg Jungfernsprung waterfalls and the healing waters on the Briccius path near Heiligenblut, it is especially the Schatztunnel gallery along the Gamsgruben trail on the Kaiser Franz Josef ridge facing the Großglockner which provides a spectacular experience. Water, gold and crystal are displayed in six galleries with a view of the Glockner's unsurpassed panorama. In addition to the water adventure regions, a network of 28 water.realm locations spans through Carinthia awaiting guests with specific attractions. Every water sport enthusiast will feel comfortable canoeing on the Drau, rafting or paddling on the Möll in the middle of the Hohe Tauern National Park. Those yearning for lakes will do best at one of the Carinthian lakes; handson at a 1000 Hände-Massage ® on the Millstätter See, family-friendly at Austria's warmest swimming lake, the Klopeiner See, or chic at Wörthersee with the wonderful beach or on a cruise with the St. Lucia from Velden. The Drau cruise on the Völkermarkt dam is also entirely new in Carinthia from 2006. 10 LOCATIONAUSTRIA 02/2006
PROMOTION The water-artist city Gmünd is one of the highlights of the adventure trip water-power in Carinthia's Lieser/Malta valley. The "Pankratium" has 24 exciting, bizarre, melodic areas in the "Water World of the Astounding." In the photo: a resonating bowel. A total of 28 specialists have devoted themselves to the subject of water, among them four-star hotels focused on Seen Wellness ® as well as holidays on farms or at camping facilities with a wide-ranging programme of water sports. They all have one thing in common, however: they are certified hosts for Carinthia's water.realm programme. In addition to a prominent location on the water, the basic requirements are a distinctive atmosphere in the enterprise itself and special activities involving water as well as eco-friendly treatment of water as a resource, the integration of water into the design and a water landscape at the host establishment.
