Discover Höflein
Accommodation in Höflein
The shore takes centre stage at Lake Rauschelesee, while the hike towards Plöschenberg adds a climb and a viewpoint. The area around Höflein also has a nature adventure playground at the Rauschelesee family beach. This gives you different options for your holiday: a loop around the lake, a trail with a view or activities for children.
Hiking trails by the lakes
The Rauschelesee loop circles the lake on natural ground and passes a campsite and a lido. If you want to make the lake the focus of your hike, this route has a clear character. The campsite and lido are additional landmarks along the way. Check the trail conditions before setting out.
A section of the Keutschach Panorama Trail passes Lake Bassgeigensee and Lake Rauschelesee. The “Keutschach Loop (Public Transport)” runs from Lake Bassgeigensee towards Lake Rauschelesee in Höflein. Unlike the loop around Lake Rauschelesee, these trails pass by both lakes or head towards Lake Rauschelesee. You can decide whether you prefer a loop around one lake or a different route.
From Lake Rauschelesee towards Plöschenberg
The “Plöschenberg, up to 780 m” hike starts at the Höflein/Rauschelesee bus stop. It passes the shore of Lake Rauschelesee and climbs towards Plöschenberg. A viewpoint with a panoramic information board offers a very fine view over the Keutschach Valley of Lakes and the Klagenfurt Basin. The hike thus combines a stretch along the shore with a climb and broad views over two landscapes. At the start, signs point towards the Zwergohreule nature trail.
Other hiking routes have additional landmarks: the “Keutschach – Bassgeigensee – Rauschelesee – Pertitschach – Spintikteich” hike runs from Keutschach to the Keutschach state road in Höflein. After crossing the Keutschach state road in Höflein, one hike follows Trail 17 towards Pertitschach. Check local conditions before setting out.
Playground and bicycle rental
At the nature adventure playground at the Rauschelesee family beach near Höflein, you can swim, play, climb, slide and use the seesaw. Children can choose from a range of activities at one leisure destination. Access conditions may vary by season, so take this into account when planning.
E-bikes and classic city bikes are available to rent in Keutschach am See. If you plan to rent a bike, check availability before your trip. Cycling and hiking are different ways to enjoy an active holiday.
