„Is schon still uman See …“ Ja, aber beim Winterwandern am Wörthersee nicht weniger aktiv.

Winterwandern in der Region Wörthersee-Rosental

Beim Namen Wörthersee denken wir sofort an Sommer – Sonne – Dolce Vita. Doch die Lifestyle-Bühne im Süden Österreichs ist im Winter keinesfalls leergefegt. Wenn der Trubel des Sommers nachlässt, wird der See zur ruhigen Basis, die einen ganz besonderen Charme versprüht. Vielleicht ist dir die ganze Bergflucht in Zeiten wie diesen auch zu viel. Du willst es ruhiger „angehen“ und keine Massen um dich, mit denen du dich bergaufwärts bewegst.
