Kärnten's Absolute Must-Sees

Kärnten features Austria's highest peak, the 3,798-meter Grossglockner, and historic fortifications like the 14-gated Hochosterwitz Castle. The region is defined by its lakes, including the expansive Wörthersee and turquoise Faaker See. Cultural highlights include Klagenfurt’s 16th-century cathedral and the vibrant apocalypse-themed chapel in St. Egid Church. Engineering and art meet at the wooden Pyramidenkogel tower and the 34-kilometer Nockalmstraße, while Minimundus displays over 150 miniature architectural models from across the globe.
