Faakersee

Lake Faak: pure relaxation in the midst of dreamlike nature

At the foot of the Karawanken mountains, nestled in idyllic meadows and picturesque landscapes, Lake Faaker See continues to enjoy unwavering popularity. Because this unique destination is far more than just a body of water – it is a true natural paradise that casts a spell over those seeking relaxation and sports enthusiasts alike. Every year, it attracts thousands of tourists to its crystal-clear waters and fills all holiday flats with life. But why has Lake Faak been one of Carinthia’s top attractions for so many decades? In today’s blog article, we explore this question and delve into the fascinating facets of the lake – and discover a few insider tips along the way.

Faaker See highlights: turquoise-blue water and a stunning view of the Karawanken mountains

Some campsites, hotels and holiday flats have private access to the lake including a bathing beach. If you have booked a flat in Villach for your holiday, it is best to take advantage of the small but excellent selection of public beaches. We particularly recommend the Egg lido, the Faak am See lido and the Panorama Beach Drobollach. The latter not only offers free access for everyone, but also an innovative open-air office for companies and freelancers right on the lake. So if you want to combine business with pleasure, Lake Faak is your first port of call.

For a sporty break in between, don’t miss the Soccerzone in Drobollach. On the spacious course with the best view of the lake and the surrounding mountains, you can play a game of football golf with friends, your partner or the whole family.

The game itself is a fun mix of mini golf and football, combining the best of both worlds. But beware, danger of addiction: your children won’t want to leave the huge playing field any time soon!

Lake Faak is a popular holiday destination for families and sports enthusiasts

Lake Faak is not only family-friendly thanks to its tranquil atmosphere, but also offers a wide range of water sports activities. Whether you want to go swimming, diving, snorkelling or stand-up paddling – there are no limits to your water sports preferences here. In order to preserve this natural beauty, sustainability is a top priority throughout the region: Lake Faak, for example, is one of those bodies of water that can only be used by water sports vehicles with electric motors. Internal combustion engines must remain at anchor.

The region is also a true paradise for outdoor enthusiasts away from the fun of swimming. The surrounding forests and mountains offer countless opportunities for adventure and exploration. Mountain bikers will find challenging trails and unforgettable views. Perfectly signposted hiking trails lead through picturesque mountain landscapes that will delight even nature lovers with their lively forests and crystal-clear streams. Pro tip for the undecided: choose one of the 20 stages of the Panorama Trail, which connects the holiday regions of Villach, Faaker See, Ossiacher See, Carnica-Rosental, Klopeiner See Südkärnten and the Lavanttal over a total of 284.9 kilometres, depending on the desired level of difficulty.

However, if you also want to explore the beautiful surroundings, you should include one of the many flats in Villach in your plans. Depending on the location, it can be a great advantage to access the various hiking routes, restaurants and recreational areas from a holiday flat in Villach.
