This panoramic walk impresses with close and distant views of the Ressnig swimming lake, the pilgrimage church of Maria Rain, Hollenburg Castle and the bizarre Karawanken mountains.
The southernmost town in Austria, Ferlach, is full of hidden treasures and strong contrasts. The town, steeped in history, is world-famous for its artistic hunting rifles. In the surrounding countryside, hidden natural gems will delight you: Here on the Drau River, for example, pristine alluvial landscapes and a panoramic reservoir surprise visitors.
In the heart of the Karawanken, on the other hand, the fairy-tale Bodental valley and the imposing Koschuta massif are enchanting.
