Klagenfurt Accommodation
City information: Klagenfurt am Wörthersee is the provincial capital of
Kärnten (Carinthia) . Around Klagenfurt there are many lakes with most
important the Worthersee, hemmed in by steeply rising, wooded mountains,
and many nice resorts. Most of the popular lakes lie in the suntrap
Klagenfurt basin. The area around is noted for its constantly lovely and
sometimes superb scenery, and for its many castles, its skiing,
climbing, water sports, fishing, and hunting.
Worth a visit are the Hall of Arms, in the arcaded Landhaus, and the
Cathedral, both of the 16th cent.
Also visit the fine cathedral 45km. North of Klagenfurt at Gurk that is
now a village but use to be once a bishop's seat. Begun in the I2th
century, the cathedral is a treasury of beauty and interest. Some I o m.
away, Friesach, a walled and moated medieval town with many old
buildings and much of historical interest, is also worth seeing. So,
too, is St Veit, en route from Klagenfurt. Near by is St Veit once the
capital of Carinthia ,is noted for its Rathaus, (City hall) with its
fine facade and three tiered cloisters in the courtyard.
Not to be missed among the many castles around St Veit is Hochosterwitz,
5 m. away, a fairy-tale, fortified castle built on a conical rock and
approached by a spiral path.
Hot
sunshine and warm springs make many Carinthian lakes very popular for
water sports. Worthersee, the largest lake, is one of these. Framed with
hills, it is ringed by resorts that include popular Portschach, charming
Maria Worth, and lively, rather fashionable Veldcu with its casino.
Quieter but still popular is Millstattersee South East of Spittal, it
has a more open situation. The main resorts are Millstatt and Seeboden.
Ossiachersee, the third largest lake, which lies NE. of Villach, is
bordered by steeply rising mountains. Its resorts mainly have small
hotels and pensions.
Of the countless smaller lakes, the most popular is perhaps little
Faakersee (SE. of Villach), with its island hotel, sun-bathers scattered
on beaches and in the fields, and its background of the distant
Karawanken Mountains. SW. of Volkermarkt, tiny Klopeinersee, backed by
trees, claims to have the warmest water of all.
One of the best of Austria's many fine views is from the resort of
Kanzelhohe (q,goo ft), NE. of Villach, approached by cable-car from
Annenheim on Ossiachersee. But the finest of all are seen from the
Grossglocknerstrasse, the wonderful mountain road that climbs northwards
across the Tauern Mountains to the province of Salzburg. It starts from
the picturepostcard village of Heiligenblut, whose tall-spired church
contains some extraordinarily delicate wooden statues carved by local
craftsmen. A road off the Grossglocknerstrasse near its summit leads to
the Franz Josef Haus, a fine hotel directly beneath Grossglockner's
peak.HOTELS AND ACCOMMODATION IN KLAGENFURT
