Hotel in Carinthia for the whole family

For water lovers, there are countless lakes in the Carinthia region. For the little ones, there's the Heidi Alm, and for climbing pros, the Falkensteig trail near Falkert. You can whizz down the mountain on the Kaiserburg Bob or experience the Carinthian Nockberge mountains on a hike with the whole family. Back at the hotel, enjoy a delicious drink in the bar, followed by a culinary exploration of the region.
