My LakeTIME
on holiday in Carinthia

Here I enjoy unforgettable moments by the region's lakes
and experience warm summer days that will stay with me forever!

Lake Millstätter See, Lake Brennsee, Lake Maltschacher See and Lake Flatschacher See reflect the light of the south and in the ‘summer rooms’ on their shores you can take a deep breath of lake life. Each lake has its own character:

TIP

Barrier-free holidays by the lake

Take a barrier-free stroll along the lakeside promenade and watch the hustle and bustle of the lake from the shore. The newly designed lakeside promenade in Döbriach on Lake Millstatt leads past numerous lidos, a rose garden, a children's playground and a marina. You can even take a dip in the warm waters of Lake Millstätter See. A special barrier-free ramp and a swimming wheelchair have been installed in the Fischerpark so that everyone can experience the pleasure of swimming!

Water sports

Lake Millstätter See and Lake Brennsee are THE water sports lakes in the region. In addition to kayaks, sailing boats and surfers, in recent years SUPs have become an integral part of a holiday in Carinthia by the lake!

Holidays with a dog at the lake

Some places on the southern shore of Lake Millstätter See are ideal for a quick dip. Dogs can run around to their heart's content in the fenced-off dog run zone in the Fischerpark in Döbriach. At the neighbouring free access to the lake, both humans and dogs can take a short refreshing dip while respecting each other. Important: Dogs must be kept on a lead outside the off-leash area!

Biker-Lounge at lake Brennsee

A cycle tour on the Carinthian lakes often ends with a dip in the warm lake water. The biker lounge on the shore of Lake Brennsee offers a particularly stylish opportunity to do just that.

Lake holidays with children

A holiday at the lake offers fun for the whole family: building sandcastles, boat trips together, ice cream competitions and unforgettable sunsets.

Water skiing

Water skiers can glide elegantly across the water on Lake Millstätter See. There are water sports schools in all lake towns. The best opportunity to watch the pros perform a few tricks is at the water ski shows in Seeboden am M. S.

Fishing & Angling

The Carinthian lakes are home to a large number of peaceful and predatory fish. With the appropriate fishing licence, you can also fish for them in Lake Maltschacher See, Lake Brennsee and Lake Millstätter See. Good luck!

Crossing the lake

Swim to the opposite shore once - this is possible at all Carinthian lakes.

Lake holidays in Carinthia

The ‘Kärnten’ glides gently across the mirror-smooth waters of Lake Millstätter See, heading for Lagger Bay. On the northern shore, modern houses alternate with historic summer resort villas, and just a bike ride away is the next lake, Lake Brennsee, which invites you to enjoy a lakeside holiday in Austria.

Lake Millstätter See, Lake Brennsee, Lake Maltschacher See and Lake Flatschacher See are largely unspoilt. Their lakeside paths are popular promenades and some lakes can also be circumnavigated by bike. The surrounding mountains offer discovery tours that lead far into the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Carinthian Nockberge.
