The Austrian Alps / Salzburgerland / Carinthia region
The apartment is ideally situated in a small village in Carinthia close to the Italian and Slovenian Borders. This part of Austria is the sunniest part of the Alps, with summer temperatures matching those in the Mediterranean. In winter it is transformed into a Winter Wonderland, with snowcapped mountains and clear blue skies.
We are in the local vicinity of Hermagor, Lake Pressergersee and the Nassfeld Ski Arena. Hermagor has lots of shops and restaurants, including a Chinese Restaurant. Facilities on the lake during the summer, include watersports, boating and fishing. In the winter the lake is frozen and you can ice-skate on it, there is even a bar in the middle to entice you on, and to give you Dutch Courage to skate back!
A Golf Course is currently being built in the village of Kirchbach, which should be ready by 2009.
The famous rare Wulfenia flower blooms in this region in the beautiful Gailtal Valley. It can only be found here and in the Himalayan Mountains. The flower is traditionally embroidered on Austrian National Dress.
We are on the borders of Slovenia and Italy if you fancy a day trip to another country. There is even a duty free shop off one of the motorways where you can stop for bargains.
