Geographically the market municipality of Schiefling lies between Velden am Wörthersee and the Keutschach valley of lakes. The municipality is known mainly for the distinctive Kathreinkogel with a height of 772 metres, where a settlement dating from the 12th century BCE has been excavated.
It is the oldest settlement in the entire Eastern Alps area – the finds date from the Neolithic, Bronze Age and Late Antiquity. You can learn all about the historic finds in the Kathrein Museum, which is open in July and August. A popular hiking route leads across the Kathreinkogel and past the excavations and the museum.
Other hiking trails through the marsh and lake landscape in the Keutschach valley of lakes are a good way of rapidly forgetting the bustle of everyday life. The Trattnigteich pond and Lake Penkensee also await and score highly for recreation.
The municipal lido in particular beckons for a dip in Lake Wörthersee, and the Wörthersee ferries
