The Citrus Garden at Faaker See
A walk through the citrus garden inspires, amazes and enchants in equal measure. You may be in the south of Carinthia, but you are not in the Mediterranean. And so this breathtaking variety of fruit on an area of around 5,000 m2 is all the more surprising, as it is unique in Europe. The citrus garden in Faak am See is open all year round and, in addition to the show garden - awarded the Carinthia Seal of Quality - also offers an organic store.
A collection of over 280 varieties from all citrus genera, i.e. table lemons, oranges, bitter oranges, limes, cedrat lemons, mandarins, grapefruits, bergamots and papedas, as well as around 2,000 trees that are full of fruit and flowers at the same time. Old varieties from the Medici collection, such as the Petrella or Buddha's hand with its many yellow fingers, are the highlights of the collection. The plants are grown here organically with a lot of love and care.
Curious connoisseurs can stop off at the organic citrus store. In addition to organic products that you need for your own citrus harvest, you can also buy products made from the citrus plants, such as citrus marmalade, pralines, oils, distillates, lemon salt and many other sweet and sour specialties!
Organic lemon grower Michael Ceron has been a valuable member of KÜCHENKULTsince 2015 and is conquering gourmet kitchens at home and abroad with his citrus fruits from all over the world. For citrus enthusiasts, we particularly recommend a guided walk followed by a tasting session with lemon pioneer Michael Ceron himself - free of charge with the Erlebnis CARD.
