Lake Wörthersee is the perfect destination for your holidays in Austria. The region is famous for golfing, swimming and other activities. Feel well in the various spa hotels. Families will enjoy the large entertainment programme for children.
Velden is known for this and much more besides. The town has a long tradition as a resort and spa and naturally offers lots more.
Where the Wörthersee is at its prettiest, a small peninsula juts into the lake, framed to the left and right by the traditional spa of Pörtschach.
In winter, the village is quiet and relaxed, cosy and reflective – very different and yet definitely attractive.
Go around the lake on a bike, search for mushrooms in the forest, relax in three pools by the water, hike to your heart's content, practise active sports and training.
These three concepts dominate Maria Wörth, the village on the peninsula, not only famous for its pilgrim church but also for its health centres.
The cycle path through the Seental is very popular. Well-marked hiking trails in the gently hilly four-lake valley of Keutschach invite you to go exploring; remember to pay a visit to the Pyramidenkogel viewing tower, which offers a wonderful 360-degree view of Carinthia.
In a landscape of particular beauty, nestled between the Wörthersee to the north and the Drava to the south, the Keutschacher See to the east and the well-know spa town of Velden to the west, lies the market township of Schiefling am See, part of the Wörthersee region.
Follow in the footsteps of the Carolingians, whether on foot, by bike or car, and experience a feeling of history that can still be sensed to this day.
Techelsberg is known for its woodcarvers as well as for its down-to-earth way of life.
