The winters can be very cold with high snowfall ; so skiing ,toboganning , and skating on the lakes all form a regular part of winter life .
The summers in these southern latitudes close to Italy are very hot - often 30 degrees centigrade.Carinthia is dotted with beautiful lakes ideal for swimming , sailing and waterskiing .
Silence and relaxation:
Relax in idyllic unspoilt countryside at the foot of the Magdalensberg with stunning views over the mountains bordering Slovenia and Italy.
Enjoy Carinthia, enjoy its food!:
Enjoy excellent food.
Good food is a part of any proper holiday and the family owned and run gasthauses of the neighbourhood are excellent. Their inspiration comes from the myriad influences of the great central european Habsburg empire : Goulasch from Hungary, cakes and pastries from Vienna, knoedels, schnitzels, a great baking tradition, trout and crayfish from the freshwater lakes and streams, and pasta and salads influenced by nearby Italy.
