The sports&adventure pool in Spittal an der Drau

Schloss Porcia in Spittal an der Drau in Upper Carinthia / Austria is a Renaissance castle built in the 16th century in the style of Italian palazzo, and is sometimes described as "the most beautiful Renaissance building north of the Alps".

The Museum for Folk Culture is a privately administrated museum, run by a registered association, the "Bezirksheimatmuseum Spittal/Drau e.V.".

The hill of St. Peter in Holz (4 km west of Spittal/Drau) has been inhabited since the 12th century B.C. As of ca. 50 A.D., the older Celtic settlement was absorbed into the larger Roman town.

The Kreuzeckbahn cable car will take you on a romantic ride lasting 11 minutes up to the Rosswiese,  the ca. 1,200 m-high mountain station of the lift.

Once there, one of the  most beautiful mountain hiking areas in the Alps is awaiting you: the Kreuzeck group, with one of the most striking lookout mountains of the Tauern region, the Salzkofel (2,498 m).

Imaginatively conceived barbican, added in ca. 1900 to Oberfalkenstein Castle, which stands 200 meters further up (today a ruin).

Groppensteinschlucht is a wonderful, adventurous gorge along the Mallnitzbach in Carinthia. The entrance to the gorge is located in Raufen/Räuflach Obervellach. The gorge is signposted from the road.
