Must-Do
Lake Faaker See
Lake Faaker See is one of those places you simply have to experience. It is one of the cleanest and most beautiful lakes in Carinthia, known for its clear, bright turquoise water and impressive views of the Karawanken mountains. It immediately creates that relaxed summer feeling – close to nature, peaceful, yet with everything you need for a great day of swimming.
On the shore, you will find several public bathing areas as well as SUP and kayak rentals. A short trip to the small island, a dip in the water, followed by a coffee on the lakeside terrace – half a day quickly turns into a real vacation moment. Those who prefer a quieter pace can take a walk along the shore paths or plan a leisurely bike ride with breaks in small cafés.
From harry’s home Villach, you can easily reach the lake by bike, public transport, or car – depending on your plans for the day. Tip: Early in the morning, the water is particularly clear and calm – ideal for a few laps or a short SUP trip.
