In summer Carinthia is the region of lakes. The lakes glow turquoise blue and the water is warm. Children play on the shores, couples take romantic strolls and active types let off steam swimming, waterskiing or surfing.

Refreshing in Carinthia's lakes
And if you want to see the lakes from a different perspective, all you have to do is climb a mountain and look down into the valley over the wonderful Carinthian landscape. A landscape with 1,270 areas of still water, 200 swimming lakes, 8,000 kilometres of rivers and numerous mineral springs. All of these turn Austria’s most southerly province into a true water paradise. But do visitors to Carinthia really know all that the lakes have to offer? No, because with all the new holiday ideas even Carinthian professionals can take a fresh look at the lakes this summer.
