Discover Sankt Kanzian Am Klopeiner See

Sankt Kanzian Am Klopeiner See combines a distinctive lake landscape with walking trails, traces of history and a variety of excursion destinations. Lake Klopeiner See lies between the hilly forests of the Jauntal Valley and reaches a maximum depth of 48 metres. Thanks to a ring sewer system and deep-water drainage, it has almost drinking-water quality. This combination of water, forest and the Jauntal landscape characterises the surrounding area and offers a range of options for planning your days.

Trails, water and views

For relaxing hours by the lake, there is a continuous promenade for strolling and unwinding. If you would like to include a manageable loop in your travel plans, you can walk or cycle around Kleinsee. The Slow Trail Kitzelberg, which begins on the western shore of Lake Klopeiner See, offers a different perspective. From its viewing platform, you can see Lake Klopeiner See, Lake Turnersee and the entire Jauntal Valley.

The region can also be experienced in a variety of ways by those seeking sporting activities. A mountain bike flow trail leads downhill from Steinerberg. Anyone interested in fishing should take note of the sport fishing season: It runs every year from 1 April to 15 November. For planning activities on the water, another precise distinction is important: On Lake Klopeiner See, only rowing boats are permitted. Stand-up paddleboarding is offered as an activity in the municipality of St. Kanzian.

Excursions with children and shared experiences

Walderlebniswelt places a special emphasis on nature and family experiences. It covers more than 20,000 m² and includes a 25-metre-high treetop trail. There is also a 500 m² indoor play area. This means an excursion can be planned in different ways: outdoors, the trail leads up into the treetops, while indoors, a dedicated play area is available. If you choose a holiday apartment or holiday home as a base for several days of your holiday, Walderlebniswelt can provide a specific component of your shared day planning.

History and culture in the Jauntal Valley

The Gracarca Cultural Trail takes in a total of six stations. A significant Iron Age hilltop settlement was inhabited on Gracarca from the 9th to the 1st century BC. The trail thus combines outdoor activity with an insight into the region’s earlier history, without requiring you to limit your holiday theme exclusively to nature.

Lake Klopeiner See itself also holds a remarkable historical find: A Roman dugout canoe approximately 1,700 years old was discovered on its bed. The church in Wasserhofen is also home to the mural "Ecce Homo", created in 2001 by the Carinthian artist Valentin Oman. Such destinations complement a stay by the water with archaeological and artistic points of interest.

Choose accommodation to suit your travel plans

When looking for accommodation in Sankt Kanzian Am Klopeiner See, it is worth first organising the days you would like to spend on holiday. If walks, views of the lake and the promenade are the main focus, the paths around Lake Klopeiner See provide an important point of reference. For a more active stay, the Slow Trail Kitzelberg, the loop around Kleinsee or the flow trail at Steinerberg offer additional options for excursions. Those wishing to include culture can take the Gracarca Cultural Trail and Wasserhofen into account.

In addition, the Kärntner Badehaus at Lake Klopeiner See has six different saunas and a heated infinity outdoor pool. The Kärntner Badehaus at Lake Klopeiner See therefore places a focus on wellness. You can then choose a holiday apartment or holiday home based on which of these interests will shape your stay and which excursions you would like to combine.
