Region Nassfeld-Pressegger See | Lesachtal | Weissensee
A bit more of everything
Action or relaxation: enjoy the panorama or dive into the warm waters of a lake at up to 28 degrees, go offline for a while or start on a culinary journey of discovery through the region?
You’re guaranteed not to get bored in the Nassfeld-Pressegger See region: tours across the border into Italy will wow hikers and bikers, families can discover new areas for adventures and meet comic heroes like Fix and Foxi, either on the mountain or right beside Lake Pressegger See, and gourmets can be pampered with the finest regional cuisine while gazing at a breathtaking panorama.
Spending time in the Weissensee Nature Park is not only sporty, but also sustainable. The emphasis here is on soft tourism, and the eastern section of the cleanest swimming lake in Austria is undeveloped and traffic-free.
The Lesach Valley offers pure nature, with a primal mountain world that is a rare find nowadays. A perfect symbiosis of tradition, nature, fine food and slowing down. The Lesach Valley attracts visitors with its perfect infrastructure in the form of an Austrian mountain climbers’ village: 300 kilometres of marked hiking trails range from an easy stroll or walks through the alpine meadows to spectacular summit and climbing tours in the Carnic Alps, the Lienz Dolomites and the Gailtal Alps. The Lesach Valley has more mountain guides in relation to its population than anywhere else in the world.
The world’s first Slow Food Travel Region is in Carinthia, high up on the mountains and in the picturesque villages of the Gail and Lesach Valleys.
Here you can bake bread, make cheese, see how bacon is produced or how beekeeping works. Actively joining in, daring to glance over your shoulder, passing on knowledge and good, fair agricultural products – all of this lies behind the name Slow Food Travel Alpe Adria Kärnten.
Tip: Baking bread in the Lesach Valley is part of the World Cultural Heritage.
In the Nassfeld-Pressegger See region, the Lesach Valley or the Weissensee Nature Park on the sunny southern side of the Alps, holidaymakers can set off in search of adventure wherever their fancy takes them.
