Lake Woerthersee in the Austrian state of Carinthia is not only one of the most beautiful lakes in Austria, but also, in the truest sense of the phrase an “internationally famous stretch of water”. For over 100 years the lake has been the “stage” for world famous composers, architects and Hollywood stars. Austria’s first airline came into being on Lake Woerthersee, and the lake’s shipping is legendary. But away from the hustle and bustle, the scenically charming lake with its islands and peninsulas is an uncharted natural jewel that has been declared a „natura 2000“ area.
