Water & adventure in Carinthia

Time for adventure, time for nature!

An ocean of lakes – a zest for life at, in and around the water – in Carinthia, nature fills the heart.

The mountain world bubbles with pure drinking water from the mysterious depths that feed numerous swimming lakes. They invite you to discover nature from late spring, through the hot summer, and into the colourful autumn for refreshment, relaxation, and fun activities for the entire family. Felsenhof is your central starting point for numerous themed hikes around the water.

The land of a thousand lakes under the southern sun 

More than 1,270 stagnant waters – 200 of which are swimming lakes – make Carinthia the cleanest and purest swimming paradise  in Europe. Three of these are located in the immediate vicinity of Felsenhof Luxury & Wellness Hotel. They invite you to relax and recuperate amidst a breath-taking landscape.

Adventure at Lake Millstätt

Take a paddle boat along the forest-covered southern banks, take off your shoes as you walk around the cove and jump from stone to stone, feel the gentle water on your feet, and relax on a bench near the water while you enjoy the view of the Nock Mountains. Experience this and even more at Lake Millstätt – come and let the magic enchant you.

This is a paradise for water lovers – a place where you can enjoy a diverse number of water sports. It's impossible to be bored at Lake Millstätt!

Family fun at Lake Brenn

Also known as Lake Feld, the little brother of Lake Afritzer has a lot to offer. In the five local swimming areas, at the surf & sailing school, and at the boat hire, fun and adventure await the entire family. You can discover the lake with trendy sports too, such as stand-up paddling and kayaking, or go for a simple relaxing swim.

Passionate fishers will find a little paradise at Lake Brenn. There is a fish population of carp, tench, whitefish, pike and pikeperch that makes the hearts of fishermen beat faster. Carinthia's largest fishing festival takes place here once a year as well.

Away from the hustle & bustle

Once connected to its little brother, Lake Brenn, Lake Afritzer – in the Gegendtal valley in the Nock Mountains – offers beautiful views for a memorable holiday.

Along with the many water options and activities, Lake Afritzer is a popular place for holiday goers thanks to all of its exciting offerings. Summer tobogganing with a view of the lake or go-cart rides along the shores make for hours of fun. In the Alpine wildlife park at Lake Afritzer, the peacefulness of the Carinthian nature helps you relax and recharge your batteries.
