Mother nature meant well when she created Carinthia, Austria’s sunny south. Numerous unpolluted, warm bathing lakes await visitors here in the middle of the Alps. So do mountains, ranging from the mighty three-thousanders to the gentle Nock Mountains. From their peaks, the view roams over country that is characterised by the cultural diversity of the Alpe-Adria region, by the mild and sunny climate on the southern side of the Alps and by people who greet their guests cheerfully, openly and with a large helping of joie de vivre.
