Fun and adventure for young and old alike

Natural pool in Puch

The idyllic natural swimming pool in Puch is the perfect place for families to cool off. With a water surface area of around 1500 square meters, it is manageable but offers enough space to relax. The children's area - playground, sandpit, beach volleyball court, boccia court and table tennis - makes adventurers' hearts beat faster. For refreshments, you can take advantage of the excellent gastronomy on site.

Our tip for families from the Gegendtal valley or from lake Ossiacher See: the Sculpture park in Krastal is right on the way and can be ideally combined with a bike tour.

The Citrus Garden

The Citrus Garden

You will be amazed and enchanted when you walk through Michael Ceron ́s citrus garden. Here we are in the South, albeit the South of Carinthia, but not in the Mediterranean. This collection, which is unique in Europe, is surprising to see because of the breath-taking variety of fruits on around 5,000 m2.
