Hotel & Spa Bleibergerhof
Carinthia's southernmost thermal high mountain valley
Discover mountains and museums
Or simply plunge in and enjoy the water while on holiday.
Carinthia not only boasts the most hours of sunshine in Austria, but also the most beautiful mountain views and a wide range of recreational activities. The variety offered by sport and relaxation, mountains and lakes, and culture and cuisine creates the perfect setting for an enjoyable holiday free of stress and boredom.
The mystifying Terra Mystica is located directly in Bad Bleiberg and offers you the opportunity to plunge into its tunnels and enjoy a multimedia experience underground while gaining insights into the history of the mine. Ride through the tunnels in a real mining rail car and use the miner's slide just like in past times to take a fascinating underground journey.
Dobratsch Alpine Garden
Right nearby, the Dobratsch Alpine Garden – located directly on the Panoramastraße – invites you take a walk through the blooming splendour of southern Alpine flora. It will captivate you with its breathtaking panoramic views of the Julian Alps (Slovenia). The Dobratsch and the adjacent Dobratsch National Park offer you an unforgettable natural experience for every season. The ideal destination for hikers, Nordic walkers, cross-country skiers and nature lovers. And don't miss out on the view of Villach, Klagenfurt and Slovenia (the Julian Alps), with glimpses all the way into the Gailtal valley in the direction of Italy.
Those who enjoy the crystal clear waters of Carinthia will be thrilled to take a boat ride on Lake Ossiach, Lake Wörth or Lake Millstatt. Culture enthusiasts will enjoy the summer festival at Finkenstein Castle, and you are sure to be entertained by a tour through the macaque enclosure and the eagle flight show at Landskron Castle on Affenberg. You can find local art at the Nötsch Circle Museum. It has temporary exhibitions featuring the work of four of the most eminent Austrian artists of the 20th century, whose lives all centred around Nötsch in the Gailtal valley.
Water lovers, bathing beauties and sunbathers will get exactly what they came for in Austria's southernmost and sunniest province. The lakes are of drinking-water quality, and the mountain streams are teeming with fish. Bad Bleiberg is only 30 minutes away from Lake Ossiach, Lake Faak and Lake Pressegg. And while the Gailtal valley's romantic treasure of Lake Pressegg invites you to do some soul searching, the vast size of Lake Ossiach will inspire you to take a boat ride.
