Autumn holiday in Austria... ... is a journey of discovery between summits, cold bathing spots and thermal springs in Carinthia

Whizz down the water slide together, dive through the outdoor pool and take a break from time to time during a long day of family bathing: This is possible at both the Römerbad thermal spa and the family and health thermal baths St. Kathrein.

For the very first autumn summit tour together, we recommend "My 1st summit", the Arkerkopf in Langalmtal. Here, exciting adventure stations shorten the route and in between you can take a break on the terrace of the Erlacherhütte.

The House of Storytelling is home to forest fairy Florauna and goblin Hermelin, the lindworm and many other mythical creatures. Films, audio stations and an exciting puzzle make the visit a family experience during your autumn holiday in Carinthia.

In the adventure world, everything revolves around the ruby-coloured garnet gemstone. The walk through the exhibition and the garnet gallery ends in the mining area. Here, hammers and safety goggles are handed out. Some skill is required to knock the gemstones out of the mountain.

The Lake Millstätter See cycling trail runs constantly up and down along the southern shore. There are plenty of places to take a break, and the cycle ferry is a good way to shorten the route.

Water has a magical attraction. Families travelling along the Tiebel by bike have many opportunities to take a break by the water.
