Gerlitzen Alpe - Ossiacher See

Afritz am See

Holidays are special here, say the guests. And rightly so. Afritz am See offers a unique mountain-lake-adventure in the Valley north of Villach, nestled in-between the soft peaks of the Nockberge. For nature lovers, relaxation seekers, families and active tourists alike. Lake Afritz is refreshingly different. Refreshingly relaxing.

Annenheim

Do you fancy more variety? In the natural jewel of Annenheim, located directly on Lake Ossiacher, swimming, surfing, sailing, kayaking and diving are just as much on the agenda as are pedal boat rides or water skiing. For those who yearn for art and culture, Annenheim also has a lot to offer. The Annenheim Sea Park is the hotspot for fun, action, culture and music events.

Arriach

Arriach, 20 kilometres north of Villach, is the geographic centre of Carinthia. An idyllic walk leads from the village to the red platform, which signifies the centre of Carinthia. Here a forest clearing opens up a window to an incredible view of the Carinthian mountain world. A holiday in Arriach is a holiday right at the heartbeat of nature. Here there is no room for stress or hectic life.

Bodensdorf

Bodensdorf is the perfect starting point for hiking, cycling or walking around Lake Ossiach. If you like it cosy and tasteful, the small village offers nice cafés and restaurants as well as nightlife. Those interested in culture can visit the Wehrkirche in Tiffen or the famous stone house of DI Günther Domenig.

Ossiach

Peace and relaxation on the one hand, bustle and action on the other. Ossiach shows itself as a charming holiday destination all year round with a perfect infrastructure (cafes, shops, restaurants) and a dream setting amidst mountains and lakes. Not to be overlooked: the historical Stift Ossiach with its baroque church.

Sattendorf

How about parasailing or a fun ride on an inflatable banana, an inflatable ring or on the wakeboard? Or would you rather relax and splash? You don't have to make up your mind, because in Sattendorf, on Lake Ossiach, which is up to 25 degrees warm, all possibilities are open to you as the proximity to the Gerlitzen Alpe and the city of Villach make your possibilities limitless.

Steindorf

But not to fear. The "stone house" of the deceased star architect Günther Domenig is only called this endearingly. After around twenty years of building time, the opus magnum of the famous architect is a landmark and sight that fascinates tourists and architecture enthusiasts alike.

Treffen

In Treffen at Ossiacher See this is easy. After all, the little market community lies at the transition from the Gegendtal to the Villach basin. In the north-east, the municipal area reaches as far as Gerlitzen, in the south-west to Krastal, Hochpirkach and Oswaldiberg. What that means for you concretely? The recreational mountain Gerlitzen Alpe and Verditz are within easy reach.
