An exceptional place to live, between mountains and lakes
Carinthia is a natural paradise. Take the silky-soft moss green of Lake Ossiacher See, from which you can look up to the peak of Gerlitzen Mountain during your swim, the playful nature of lake Millstätter See, or the Caribbean-inspired hues of Lake Wörthersee: The lakes and mountains of Carinthia really come with their own personality, and their beauty and strength leave their mark on the people who live here. That’s also why every Carinthian has “his” or “her” very own lake! In Carinthia, all roads lead through the mountains: In the north, there is the Hohe Tauern range; in the south, the Carnic Alps; in the east, the Koralpe. All these mountains are home to at least 200 lakes, all of them with water that is clean enough to drink. Add the fantastic mountain air, the scenic beauty of the lakes and mountains, paired with a southern lifestyle, and you will see why Carinthia is such a special place to live. More information
