Unique spot of Austria
Enjoy the Pressegger See
A little to the east of Hermagor, about 10 minutes drive from your accommodation, you will find the Pressegger See. The locals call this lake the 'bathtub' of the Gailtal. The reason is the high temperature of the lake, in the summer it can run up to 28 degrees Celsius. The Pressegger See is situated at an altitude of 560 meters and is 55 hectares in size. Because the lake is not very deep, it is very suitable for holidaymakers. The Pressegger See is a real family destination, with good facilities around the lake, even for the little ones.

Sledding at Kärtnten and more
The Millennium Expres also brings you up to the mountains in summer. Here is a sledding run (the longest in Carinthia) that takes you back to the middle station on the Tressdorfer Alm. A gorgeous panoramic view, grazing cows and green fields create a fantastic experience. The Aqua trail is also definitely worth a visit and fun for children.
If you are looking for even more adventure, there is a challenging outdoor park or take your mountain bike and cycle yourself down. From next summer, there is also a new bike trail available that will take you to the valley. In addition, the nearest golf course is only 5 minutes away.
