Celts and Romans settled at the foothills of the Nockberge mountains. Emperors and dukes met in the centre of Carinthia to make groundbreaking decisions, and the first documented tavern was built over 560 years ago. Feldkirchen is a meeting place and a city of enjoyment.
The vineyards stretch right up to the gates of Feldkirchen and give visitors a taste of what awaits them in the heart of the town. Pleasant alleyways, historic squares, inviting shops and well-tended guest gardens invite you to stay longer in Feldkirchen in Carinthia. A visit to Feldkirchen's weekly market provides a deep insight into the regional cuisine. It's time to savour. Just a few steps further on, it is worth taking a look at the Amthof Feldkirchen. The inner courtyard is a regular venue for high-calibre concerts and numerous historical treasures are hidden behind the doors of the Amthof Museum Feldkirchen.
Well-marked hiking and cycling trails that connect Feldkirchen with the most beautiful places invite you to discover Carinthia. Some tours end at one of the many bathing lakes nestled between the rolling hills around Feldkirchen. Others lead all the way round - such as a hike along the Slow Trail Maltschacher See. A special experience is a day of swimming with horses. More than 40 icelandic horses live on a plateau above Feldkirchen. In the summer months, people like to combine a day's ride with a swim in Lake Maltschacher See.
In winter, the manageable size of Lake Flatschacher See is a great advantage. When the temperatures drop below zero, a viable natural ice surface quickly forms on the lake and Lake Flatschacher See becomes a centre of attraction for ice skaters and ice hockey players. Skiers, snowboarders and cross-country skiers also appreciate Feldkirchen as a starting point. Many large ski areas such as the Turracher Höhe, Bad Kleinkirchheim or the Gerlitzen, but also real insider tips such as the Hochrindl and Falkert ski areas are just a few minutes' drive from Feldkirchen.
The municipality of Feldkirchen lies 554 metres above sea level. Thanks to its location on the south side of the alps, Feldkirchen spoils its visitors with above-average hours of sunshine. If you want to take a look at the current weather in Feldkirchen, you can do so conveniently via the webcam.
