Excursion to explore Pörtschach’s<br />

culture and nature<br />

HH<br />

Walking along the beautiful Flower Promenade our first stop will be at<br />

the hotel Schloss Leonstain where we will visit the inner courtyard<br />

which displays the bust of Johannes Brahms. Afterwards we have to<br />

climb a few steps to reach one of the most amazing lookout points on<br />

Lake Wörthersee, the “Hohe Gloriette” which offers a fantastic view of<br />

the whole lake. Enjoy the unique panoramic view and listen to classical<br />

music while reading the information board which gives you interesting<br />

details about the life of the famous composer Johannes Brahms who<br />

lived in Pörtschach from 1877 to 1879. On our <strong>tour</strong> we will then pass the<br />

Leonstain Castle ruin and the “Pörtschacher Alm”, another important<br />

place on the Lake Wörthersee Hiking Trail. There, you will get an insight<br />

into the importance of habitat trees. Our way back will lead us through<br />

a romantic forest right to the Pörtschach muinicipial office, located in<br />

the centre where we will finish our enjoyable <strong>tour</strong>.<br />
