Wörthersee – the blue heart of Carinthia.
A lake full of highlights.A lake that will make every summer unforgettable.
Wörthersee is the most famous lake in Carinthia, named after the picturesque village of Maria Wörth. The temple on the peninsula is famous far and wide and is one of the most popular photo subjects of the lake.
The view from the Pyramidenkogel tower is an unforgettable experience: from here, the turquoise water, the church of Maria Wörth, the Gerlitzen, the Hochosterwitz Castle and the Lienz Dolomites are all part of the horizon on a clear day.

The lake's central location is Velden am Wörthersee, where the lakeside Schlosshotel and the world-famous Casino Velden exude an elegant, international atmosphere.
But the Wörthersee is not only famous for its culture: its warm water, beaches and water sports make it a paradise for bathers and active holidaymakers.
