"Hiking in the light of the south " - the motto of the 55 km long Wörthersee circular hiking trail (total 1,400 meters in altitude) could not be better chosen, because the unique adventure trail delights hikers almost all year round with its distinctive features:
A soul-warming mix of Mediterranean flair, enchanting places, lovely scenery and the unforgettable Venetian light of the Alpe-Adria landscape.
And if you take a boat in the cool morning to the starting points of the day's stages and float over the turquoise water, the special magic that is inherent in the Wörthersee circular hiking trail is revealed to you in its entirety.
Due to the climatically favorable location of Lake Wörthersee, the route is often hikable for a whole ten months. When winter still has a firm grip on the alpine regions in Austria in March, you can already take your soul for a walk along the Wörthersee circular hiking trail. In Carinthia's "Indian summer" the golden light of autumn leaves not the slightest shadow for the wanderer's soul until late November.
