Travel guide Kärnten 2.A 2019

Carinthia, the southernmost Austrian state, has the highest Alpine peaks in the country and at the same time a Mediterranean climate in the low-lying parts of the country. The location at the crossroads of Slavic, Romanesque and German-Austrian influences is not least reflected in the excellent cuisine. The country's main attractions are its numerous large lakes, of which Lake Wörthersee is the best known, and, among countless other architectural treasures, the large number of castles and pilgrimage churches. The larger cities enchant with their carefully restored historic centers. In winter there are many slopes, in summer the many hiking trails and rivers offer the best conditions for hikers and water sports enthusiasts. That is why Carinthia is also suitable as a holiday destination for nature and culture holidaymakers.
