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. 🙃👍

Pure relaxation and fantastic mountain bike adventures are available in the exclusive Koglerhof wellness oasis in central Carinthia. The absolutely isolated location of the revitalized mountain farm not only offers you panoramic views of the Carinthian mountains, but also a variety of mountain bike routes right on your doorstep. After a challenging tour, you can relax and recharge your batteries in the newly built swimming pond or in the pine sauna. The 180 square meter holiday apartment on the upper floor of the farmhouse offers you a stylish ambience and is made of ecological material, perfect for a restful night's sleep. Use the infrared cabin and the hot tub in the outbuilding to relieve muscle tension. You are also well looked after in terms of cuisine - farm products and the option of fasting weeks with professional supervision round off the wellness offer. In addition, the "Wörthersee Plus Card" gives you free access to many additional leisure activities in the area.
