On a discovery tour around Lake Afritz

Vacation in Afritz am See

The idyllic village of Afritz am See lies between the rolling hills of the Nockberge mountains. Nestled in the Gegendtal valley and south of the Hohe Tauern, the region is spoiled by a mild climate. Ideal conditions for experiencing the unspoiled nature here all year round - swimming, cycling, hiking or skiing.

The lake Afritzer See and the nearby Brennsee (also known as Feldsee) are special insider tips for families and water sports enthusiasts with their well-tempered water. Incidentally, the two lakes were originally connected until a rockslide divided them. According to legend, it was the angry Mirnock giant who triggered the rock avalanche with his rage.

Slow Trails

Carinthia’s slow trails - beautiful footpaths that encourage walkers to relax and slow down - are, in the main, short but spectacular. The 14 slow trails scattered around Austria’s southernmost province are all sources of inspiration and regeneration. And four of these slow trails can be found in the holiday region of Villach - Faaker See – Ossiacher See.
