Feistritz im Rosental fully does justice to its name. The Rosenpark is home to over 6,000 rose bushes of the finest varieties, while a visit to the Rose Museum is a treat for the senses.
But it is not just in summer that the municipality bears a hint of the delicate scent of rose blossom. In spring too, the floors of the surrounding woods are covered with a carpet of flowering Christmas roses. And in summer you can admire the water lilies in a wealth of colours in publicly accessible natural ponds and natural swimming lakes.
The tourism establishments also devote themselves to this theme with their own rose menus, rose drinks and rose decorations. Restaurants, taverns and mountain lodges preserve the down-to-earth, culinary Carinthian traditions.
Hikers and climbers can enjoy unique experiences of nature with a fabulous mountain panorama at altitudes of up to 1,660 metres above sea level. One of the most popular routes is the ascent to the Klagenfurter Hütte, a mountain lodge that has been in existence for 110 years.
