Highlights
-
As it never really gets cold in winter, you can go on wonderful forest walks through enchanting nature, enjoy a cruise on Lake Wörthersee, skate again on one of the small mountain lakes or simply plan a snowshoe hike to see the ibex in the Hohe Tauern National Park. And if you've been a bit naughty this year, you're sure to find the "Krampe" in one of the alleys this December. The "Krampe" represents evil and the devil, and takes the form of a tamed devil who strikes terror into the alleyways.
-
A few minutes' walk from the city center is a local recreation area, the Kreuzbergl, where you can visit the botanical garden, the observatory or the Kreuzbergl church. This mountain is a true natural idyll
-
The picturesque 4 km long waterway connects the city center with the Wörthersee. In winter, the waterway serves as a romantic ice rink

You can reach this wonderful city by train in around 8 hours 30 minutes from Zurich.
