Nestled in the 532-hectare nature reserve "Kraiger Schlösser", lies this gem: the Kraigersee. Its idyllic location will make the hearts of all nature lovers beat faster! The shore is largely undeveloped.

R5 - Glan-Gurk Cycle Path From the R2 Ossiacher See Cycle Path in Feldkirchen south of the intersection of the B 94 Ossiacher Straße with the B 95 Turracher Straße via Glanegg, St. Veit, Brückl, Klein St. Veit, St. Ruprecht and east of Völkermarkt into the R1 Drau Cycle Path.

The Glan section between Altenglan and Bedesbach is only slightly straightened. The water quality here is comparatively good, allowing for a species-rich fish population. At the same time, the largely naturally overgrown banks of the mostly sluggishly flowing river offer shelter to many animals. For example, on both sides of the riverbanks, there are steep walls where the kingfisher can build its nesting burrows. The river floodplain itself, with extensive wet meadows interspersed with patchy shrub and tree growth as well as solitary pollarded willows, is a habitat for other rare bird, insect, and amphibian species.

Super beautiful little lake owned by the guesthouse nearby. Great for swimming, or just drinking a beer there in the evening. Sales are right by the lake, with benches. 🙃👍
