About the lake Wörthersee
(View on the town Pörtschach and the peninsula with the new Festival venue)
|
The Wörthersee, located in the 3-Corners Region of Austria, Italy and Slovenia, though not Austria’s biggest lake, is definitely its most popular. |
 |
| Nestled amidst mountains and hillsides, blessed with an almost Mediterranean climate and a cheerful southern character, it enjoys an almost legendary reputation: for its great events and nightlife, but also for pristine landscapes, peace and relaxation. |
 |
| The heart of this area, which actually includes 5 lakes, is the Wörthersee itself, 17 km long and as much as 27° C warm; |
 |
| surrounding it, 8 towns and the provincial capital Klagenfurt, each quite different from the next – the flair of a casino, romantic, pulsating, traditional. |  |
| Here, at the most beautiful part of the Lake Wörthersee, a small peninsula pushes its way into the lake, surrounded on both sides by the traditional bathing resort of Pörtschach. |  |
|
Delightful villas and stylish lakeside houses testify to the long tradition of cultivated living and convivial encounters. Gustav Mahler and Johannes Brahms were only two of the artists who appreciated these delights. |
