Summer pleasures in the south – bathing in Carinthia
Beach & Vibes.
Bad Kleinkirchheim beach holiday – turquoise & crystal clear.
Lakes & Sunshine.
Bad Kleinkirchheim and bathing are inseparable. In summer, guests can admire the region's many crystal-clear Carinthian lakes, and in winter, the famous thermal baths offer unforgettable relaxation. And the hotel's own indoor pool? It is a source of joy for water lovers all year round – whether it's little water fairies or adult lifeguards.
Carinthia is a true paradise for all those who love sunshine, water and relaxation. There are 1,270 lakes in the province – of which around 200 are officially bathing lakes – as well as 8,000 km of rivers and numerous medicinal springs, making Austria's southernmost province a true bathing paradise.
The special feature of Carinthian waters is their exceptional quality: many lakes are clean with drinking water and warm up to a pleasant 22-24 °C in summer. Whether you choose active water sports or prefer sunbathing, the combination of the alpine panorama, the Mediterranean climate and the crystal-clear lakes makes bathing in Bad Kleinkirchheim truly special.
