7 typical Carinthian dishes you simply have to have tried!
1. Kärntner Nudeln (Carinthian pasta pockets) are undoubtedly the peak of Carinthian cuisine. Thin pasta dough is filled with a mixture of crumbly curd cheese, potatoes, mint and chervil. Each pocket is "crimped" around the edges (called "krendeln" in German) to ensure it does not come unsealed when cooking. Kärntner Nudeln are traditionally served with melted butter or crispy crackling.
2. Fish from Carinthia 3. Reindling 4. Carinthian asparagus 5. Kärntner Jause....

New Drau Paddle Route stages open
Carinthia’s longest and largest river, the Drau, winds its way through Austria’s southernmost province like a green ribbon. As a local recreational river it has been delighting both residents and guests for many years with the Drau Cycle Path, which leads from Toblach in South Tyrol to Varaždin in Croatia. And yet the Drau is not just a breathtaking backdrop for leisure cyclists, but also for paddlers in kayaks, canoes or on stand-up paddle boards.

Cycling for pleasure on the sunny southern side of the Alps
In Carinthia, the bikes can be safely unpacked in spring. The mild, sunny climate makes an excursion by bike possible even when the mountains are still fit for sunshine skiing. When it comes to cycling for pleasure, there are more than enough possibilities on offer - alone, with friends or with the whole family: routes such as the 5-star ADFC-certified Drau cycle path, the Via Carinzia in the sunny corner of Carinthia, the Five Lake route or the Alpe-Adria cycle path, which leads from Salzburg via Carinthia to the Adriatic Sea, guarantee intensive experiences in the midst of a unique landscape of mountains and lakes.

The new Slow Trails, within view of six of the loveliest Carinthian lakes, have been designed to clear the head, set spirits free and sustainably wind down.
