Central Carinthia
Central Carinthia
Fun and sexy
76
A heaving sea of teenagers in scanty shirts,
bikinis and shorts shout, dance, jump and
cheer, sitting in the bleachers in the eastern
bay of Lake Wörthersee. Below them, people
are playing volleyball on the white sand. Wiry
bodies, lightly clad, strapping brown - they
go at the game for all they’re worth. At the
Beachvolley Grand Slam in August, it isn’t just
time for sport in Carinthia’s largest natural
swimming pool – above all, it‘s party-time.
Yet Central Carinthia also has culture to offer:
on the Zollfeld, to the north of the lively
regional capital, Klagenfurt, stands the cradle
of Carinthia, so to speak. Here, you’ll find Celtic
and Roman excavations, the Herzogstuhl
(Duke’s Chair) on which Carinthia’s dukes were
enthroned, as well as hundreds of castles and
palaces.
Carinthia’s variety-rich central region extends
from the rugged Karawanken Mountains to
the south, through the Rosental Valley, where
the Carinthian bees produce the finest honey
from the lushly-blooming flower meadows,
and over the culture-rich cities of Klagenfurt,
St. Veit and Friesach, to finally lose itself in the
Nockberge Mountains. Meanwhile, thanks to
its uniqueness, this gentle mountain formation
has been declared a National Park. Here,
and only here, can one gather the curative,
intensely-scented Celtic valerian. Which brings
us to the subject of food: this area is famous for
making Carinthia‘s favourite meal, Carinthian
noodles. The special feature isn‘t the dough
or the filling, but the crimped edge. It requires
nimble fingers to seal the dough so artistically.
A folk proverb says: “A lass who can’t crimp
noodles won’t find a husband” – which must be
the reason so many Carinthian girls stay single
nowadays! But the diversity of the region also
dishes up many more delicacies: pike, carp,
sheatfish, whitefish and lake trout (Carinthian
Laxn), which are fished or bred in the pure
lakes. As a bonus, in Central Carinthia the
abundantly-decked table is also garnished with
aromatic Metnitztal Valley venison or Gurktal
Valley air-cured bacon.

Nowhere can you find as many castles and
palaces, fortified churches and cathedrals
of Romanesque origin, as here. A region rich
in history and works of art. Traces left by the
Romans and Celts, small historical towns,
a fairy-tale castle and lots of hidden art
treasures. It goes without saying that, in a
region this rich in culture, you can also eat and
drink superbly. Here, food for the body and the

IWhere lakes are concerned, Carinthia is in its
element. 1,271 lakes in all sizes, shades of blue,
shapes and degrees of warmth - and all with
water so pure that even a sip from a lake tastes
delicious. Passing the most beautiful lakes, this
route leads to the big cities of Klagenfurt and
Villach, where you can linger, stroll through the
shops and marvel at old and modern sights.
Along the route, you can stop to be served
sumptuous dishes with a view of the turquoise
waters.

Nature is the best medicine
82
The room is dark and smells of larch wood.
The embers flare up like a bonfire as Hans
Jörg Aschbacher, the owner of the Karlbad
swimming pool in the Nockberge Mountains,
throws stones heated to 1,000 degrees into the
ice-cold stream water in the wooden troughs,
where they instantly crack. Bathing guests
immerse themselves in the 40-degree water.
There are no pain-contorted faces or hysterical
yells: only expressions of well-being and bliss
spread over the reddened faces. The warm
mineral water penetrates deep into the skin and
joints, and washes stress away. Its properties
were long known to the farmers of the Nockalm
Alpine pasture, who gathered fresh strength
for their hard labour in Carinthia’s oldest
farmers’ baths. Nature is, after all, the best
medicine and Carinthia has a plentiful supply.
In the midst of favourite holiday
regions, like Warmbad-Villach,
Bad Kleinkirchheim and
Bad Bleiberg, warm
mineral waters
bubble up from
unfathomable depths. Carinthian spas
are comfortable wellness temples,
where in addition, a host of therapists
and masseurs, saunas and steam baths,
are there to ensure your well-being.
And, as a free bonus, there’s lake wellness
and Alpine wellness. Research has
proved that staying by a lake improves
sleep and boosts your health, while the
bracing climate of the mountains helps
to reduce weight and blood pressure.

Bathing in mountains,
hiking round lakes
Carinthia moves you. Anyone who stays in the
south of Austria simply can’t stay still, as there
are so many opportunities to get both body and
soul into shape, that it borders on leisure stress.
Everywhere, there’s a lake or river in easy reach,
offering a venue for swimming, surfing, sailing,
boating and rafting.
A close-meshed network of cycle tracks
covers Carinthia - over flat terrain for relaxed
cyclists, and over mountains and valleys for
sport-lovers. Carinthia’s mountains are ideal
for hiking, walking and climbing, and there
are mountain and hiking guides to show the
way. There’s no excuse for being lazy: nine
golf courses, and innumerable tennis courts
and riding stables are available everywhere in
Carinthia.
84
Those who prefer to watch sporting events are
well and truly catered for here: the Beachvolley
Grand Slam, the Ironman Austria Triathlon,
the Glockner Run, the Oldtimer Alpenfahrt
vintage car rally, and the “Kärnten läuft”
(“Carnthia runs”) half-marathon all take place
in Klagenfurt every year.
No wonder Carinthia has produced so many
top athletes, such as the skiing legends Franz
Klammer, Fritz Strobl, Rainer Schönfelder
and the track athlete Steffi Graf, to name but
a few. They all learned to ski in the Carinthian
mountains. For the winter here is not to be
sneezed at either. Over 30 genuine skiing
regions offer gentle or challenging slopes.
Snow is guaranteed. Even when it isn’t snowing,
snow cannons let fly with all guns blazing.

Emerald green, the colour of summer
86
The play of colour on Lake Wörthersee is a mystery:
it dons Caribbean emerald in July, when the
holiday-makers admire it. In the early morning, it
clothes itself in reed green and in a velvety black
in the evening. Dark blue is its favourite colour on
clear autumn days and, in winter, while the lake is
resting from the hustle and bustle of the summer,
it wraps itself in silver. In August, when the water
of the lake warms up to 27 degrees, things also
hot up on the shores of Lake Wörthersee. Water
sport enthusiasts, holiday-makers, stars, the
in-crowd, the wealthy, the beautiful and the
lake-lovers – they all meet here. And it comes
back - the sophisticated glamour of the lake,
which it possessed back in the 1900s, when the
chic Viennese spent their summer vacations
here. The many Lake Wörthersee villas built by
Fuchs and Baumgartner, the star architects of
that time, bear ample testimony to the fact. In
addition, the “Schloss am Wörthersee” (“Palace
on Lake Wörthersee”), which was once the
backdrop for a TV series about a five-star hotel,
has been reopened. When the roulette balls
roll non-stop in Velden, the steamship “Thalia”
cheerfully sounds its siren and a laughing crowd
is enjoying the Lake Wörthersee feeling in cafes

A country of artists and poets
88
Carinthia has culture: culture from every era,
in all forms and in innumerable art treasures.
The Romans and Celts have left their traces in
the form of mosaics and tombstone reliefs, and
the Carolingians have left precious ornament
stones. Nowhere can one find so many Gothic
winged altars, fortified churches and shrines
dating from every age. Totally overwhelming
at every turn are: the Gutenberg Bible and
the jewel-studded Adelheid Cross in St. Paul,
the oldest Lenten cloth in Gurk Cathedral, the
Landhausaal (a regional government room)
whose walls are completely covered with
Carinthian coats-of-arms, an unobtrusive
little church in Gerlamoos with frescos by
Thomas von Villach, the perfectly-preserved
Hochosterwitz Castle, and hundreds more
castles and palaces. Artists have always drawn
power and inspiration from this rich pool of
culture: Gustav Mahler had his composing
cottage on Lake Wörthersee, and melodies
almost seemed to fly to Johannes Brahms
and Alban Berg at the lake. Contemporary
artists like Peter Handke regarded this
land with a certain critical detachment,
yet also with unashamed affection.
The painters Kolig, Lössl,
Krawagna, Kogelnik and
Lassnig, and the writers
Bachmann, Turrini, Musil
und Handke, were all born
in Carinthia. The Museum of
Modern Art, the Bachmann
Writing Competition in
Klagenfurt, the Carinthischer
Sommer(“CarinthianSummer”)
in Ossiach, and the stages of
Klagenfurt City Theatre, Porcia,
Eberndorf and Finkenstein,
offer a taste of Carinthian
creativity but will leave you
forever hungry for more.

The areas around the National Park Hohe Tauern
and the Nockberge Mountains are the grassland
and pastureland of the cows which supply the
valuable raw materials for the “Kärntnermilch”
milk company. The fragrant herbs and grasses
on the juicy meadows enrich the milk with
their aromas, and make Kärntnermilch and
its milk and cheese specialities into a unique
experience for the taste-buds. The company,
based in Spittal/Drau, therefore processes raw
milk of the highest quality, using extremely
gentle methods and painstaking precision at
each step of the procedure. Kärntnermilch is
thereby setting new standards of naturalness
and quality in its processing methods.
Regionalism is given the highest priority. And,
most important of all: Kärntnermilch processes
milk that is one hundred per cent GM-free,
turning it into excellent, outstanding milk and
cheese products!

Carnica Rosental Valley Living Space
Carnica Rosental Valley Living Space
Keeping added value in the region
800 forest-owners and farmers from the area
of Bleiburg, Eisenkappel, Dobrova, the Rosental
Valley, Lake Faaker See and the Keutschacher
Seental 4-lake valley have banded together to
form a model collective. The task of “Carnica
Lebensraum Roz” (“Carnica Rosental Valley
living space”) is to motivate its members
to exploit and market their agricultural and
forestry products. This helps to preserve the
farm as a place for living and working, and to
increase its income.
The association negotiates extensive supply
agreements concerning locally-grown wood
for its members. Forest owners who live
far from a farm can also become members
and take advantage of the services offered
by Carnica Lebensraum – ranging from the
forestry advisory service and practical support
in forest utilisation (tree-felling, transportation
and delivery), to professional marketing. Every
year, up to 50,000 solid cubic metres of logs,
pulpwood, woodchips for heating and firewood
are sold. A new feature in the Rosental Valley
is a woodchip filling station – i.e. a woodchip
yard. Retail customers can obtain supplies of
home-grown wood for their woodchip heating
systems here.

”Krendln” is as exclusive to Carinthia as
“Kärntner Nudel” (Carinthian noodles) - and
they’re both inseparably related. “Krendln”
means the special art of sealing of each
Carinthian noodle by hand, so the filling of curd
cheese, mint and potatoes cannot run out of
the noodles during cooking. Cover them with
brown butter or Grammelschmalz (bacon fat)
and this well-loved Carinthian speciality is
finished. In Carinthian pubs, you’ll find them on
(almost) every menu – not only filled with curd
cheese, but in multiple variations.

– food is always served in creative and diverse style

AMA Seal of Quality
AMA Seal of Quality
AMA seal of quality ensures authenticity
126
Authenticity and regionalism are now
more important than ever for both native
Carinthians and their guests. Guests no
longer want to be fobbed off with beef from
Argentina or fish from Norway in local inns,
and increasingly want to enjoy food prepared
in a modern style from home-grown products.
Due to increasing globalisation and the trend
towards fast food, the unique features of the
multifaceted Austrian cuisine are threatened
with a standardisation which must be
counteracted. Since recently, restaurant
businesses which carry on the cultural legacy
have been awarded the seal of quality of the
AMA (Austrian agrarian marketing agency).
This makes it clear that these businesses are
not only using traditional recipes, but are
also certified with regard to the origin of the
products. In the meantime, many restaurant
landlords have discovered a commercial
power in this message of regionalism which
they are eager to harness. The driving force
behind this power is the confidence placed
in local regional products by the guests and
consumers. A return to culinary roots, as well
as an appreciation of living tradition, together
constitute the basis for innovation
and a pioneering spirit. For the
restaurant landlord, the certificate
involves a whole series of
requirements which, however, finally
bring their reward. “The landlord
buys food in a more conscious
and selective way. Staff and the
landlord receive information about
identification labels and certificates
of origin and thus acquire extra
competence in their sphere of
influence. The guest definitely
appreciates this and will reward the
landlord accordingly,“ emphasises
Stephan Mikinovic, the Business
Manager of Agrarmarkt Austria
(AMA). He estimates that up to 3,000
Austrian businesses will be certified
with the AMA seal of quality.

sunny lakeside spots or on rugged mountains,
guest-pampering oases and wellness hotels,
and hotels specialising in gourmets, golfers or
anglers. Carinthia – an offer for each season.
Whether cycling in spring, bathing in summer,
or hiking in the autumn, every season has
its charm and also its special culinary focus.
For the first time, this travel guide makes it

You’ll find the Klagenfurter Hütte framed by
craggy rock faces, nestling among the gentle
green meadows of the Matschacher Alm Alpine
pasture, at 1,664 m above sea level. The journey
here leads from Feistritz in the Rosental valley
and over the romantic Bärental valley by car (car

1.5 hours until you reach the hut. Getting there
via the Bodental valley, you can reach the hut in

going via the Märchenwiese meadow, the
Ogrisalm Alpine pasture and the Stinzesteig
mountain track. The Klagenfurter Hütte offers
two comfortable dining rooms, each with seating

for overnight stays. The Klagenfurter Hütte is a
great starting point for idyllic hiking or climbing
tours up to heights such as Mt. Hochstuhl (2237

the Klettersteig track, or about 2 hours via the
Bielschitzasattel saddle. Mt. Klagenfurter Spitze

Carinthia, land of horses
136
It’s impossible to imagine the farming world of
Carinthia without it: the horse is traditional whether a hard-working workhorse, proud
steed or simply a beloved pet. The “Pferdeland
Kärnten” (“Carinthia, land of horses”) platform
combines all areas concerning horses - from
tourist advertising to the training of horses and
riders, and from horse-breeding to equestrian
sports. For more than one hundred years,
Carinthian enterprises have devoted themselves
to horse-breeding. Breeds like the Noriker,
Haflinger and Warmblood, which are bred in
accordance with very strict criteria, are
distinguished by their good character,
willingness to perform and well-formed
appearance. A pleasant landscape and good
horses make riding lessons a pleasure. Riding
schools with specially-trained, meek-tempered
horses offer a gentle introduction to riding and
a sound further training. Trail riders also see
their dreams come true in Carinthia: riding
stables offer impressive trail rides. In Alpine
rides up to the tree line in the National Park
Hohe Tauern, nature and the animal merge into
one unforgettable experience. In Carinthia,
land of horses, there’s always something going
on: show jumping, dressage riding, horse-
breeding events – you can visit top-quality
equestrian events all year round. The
following are partners of the “Pferdeland
Kärnten” umbrella brand: Urlaub am
Bauernhof (Farm Holidays), Reit Eldorado
