Millstatt

is the historically and culturally most important place at Lake Millstätter See. The townscape is characterized by the Benedictine monastery, the collegiate church with the Romanesque cloister and the old "Habsburg villas". The idyllic and sunny location on a small peninsula in the lake, the mild climate and the surrounding gentle peaks of the Nockberge mountains give this place a southern flair. The soft, dark water of Lake Millstätter See, in drinking water quality, attracts swimming enthusiasts in summer. You will find enough space for this in the lido's in Millstatt, Pesenthein and Dellach.

Moreover, the terraced topography of the Millstatt municipal area offers ideal conditions for a perfect hiking holiday. The lake - at 600 m above sea level - forms the first step. The second step - at 900 m - is the high plateau with small villages, from where numerous well-signposted hiking trails lead along farms, meadows, streams and waterfalls to the alpine pastures of the Millstatt Alpe - the third step at 2000 m above sea level.

A holiday in Millstatt is rounded off by the numerous musical highlights: from the Millstatt Music Weeks to the Nockalmfest and concerts by local choirs.
In terms of art and culture, apart from the many sights, for example in the Art Space Stift Millstatt contemporary art is offered in the form of exhibitions or dance performances, as well as workshops and courses. Experience the symbiosis of art and nature with all your senses at the KUNSTradln in Millstatt from July to November.

The wide range of leisure activities leaves nothing to be desired: Water sports, biking, fishing, hiking, tennis, horseback riding, a llama hike, and golf are just a few of the activities offered in the great outdoors.

For culinary delights, there is a wide range of gastronomy on offer. There is a wide choice: freshly caught fish, tasty bistro cuisine, Italian specialities, traditional Austrian cuisine, Carinthian delicacies, a hearty snack in the alpine hut or Buschenschank and much more. Since 2019 Millstatt is one of the first 7 Slow Food Villages worldwide. The regional food culture has a high value and makes Millstatt a place of good living. If you want to buy good, clean and fairly produced food, you should visit one of the self-service cottages on the Sonnenplatau.
