When the sun sinks behind the peaks of the Hohe Tauern and the last light of the day bathes Lake Millstätter See in gold, a magical staging of nature begins on the starry balcony. Between mountain meadows and vastness, a moment is created here that will stay with you.
A wooden walkway that seems to lead to nowhere, the view of the reflecting lake and the first stars awakening in the sky - the Millstätter See starry balcony is a place for special encounters.
Here, high above the water, TIME for two comes into its own in its most beautiful form. The picnic basket? Filled with specialties from the Mirnock farmers - oven-fresh farmhouse bread, tangy cheese, Mirnock bacon, fruity elderberry juice and the legendary "Mirnockaugen", a sweet yeast pastry with a jam eye.
Our picnic on the starry balcony
A summer evening full of magic
Book now & experience the most beautiful picnic spot in Carinthia!
A picnic at sunset is one of the most beautiful picnic ideas around Lake Millstatt. It can easily be combined with an e-bike tour, a "grand finale" on the Via Paradiso long-distance hiking trail, a relaxed hike on the Slow Trail Mirnock or a circular hike on the Kneipp Mirnock Panorama Circular Trail!
Trail fans use the Sternentrail for the way back to the valley. The MTB trail offers a number of challenges and connects the Sternenbalkon with Döbriach on Lake Millstätter See.
Yes, the picnic basket can be extended for three people for an extra charge of € 10.
The Mirnock farmers, whose farms are located at the foot of the Weltenberg Mirnock, have filled the picnic basket well - with Mirnock bacon, sausage and cheese specialities, curd cheese spread with fresh herbs and home-baked bread fresh from the oven. A bottle of elderberry juice and a glass of sparkling wine are also included.There is also room in the basket for a dessert. Doris Gösseringer bakes the sweet ‘Mirnockaugen’ in hot fat just before the guests arrive. She refines the yeast dough pastry with a ‘jam eye’ and places it in the picnic basket. Incidentally, the name ‘Mirnockaugen’ comes from the three small lakes that hikers pass on their way to the summit of the Mirnock mountain.
The picnic basket is available at the Alpengasthof Bergfried at the desired time. From the Bergfried it is only a few steps to the starry balcony and the sunset high above Lake Millstätter See.
The suggested times for the picnic on the mountain with a starry sky are guidelines - individual adjustments are possible on request.
The duration of the picnic on the starry balcony is entirely up to the guests. Between sunset and the starry sky, there is TIME to enjoy the moment to the full.
High above Lake Millstatt, the Sternenbalkon seems to lead directly into the sky. It owes its name to the view into the night and the reflection of the stars in the water. The spot is an insider tip for picnics with a view in Carinthia.
