Especially popular are the Slow Trail at the Weissensee, the shore paths around Lake Pressegg and easy panorama paths in the Carnic Alps. These routes offer many resting places, viewpoints and opportunities for mindful walking. Walks on the in-house nawu trails are also ideal for experiencing the landscape in peace.

At Lake Pressegg, besides the lidos, you’ll also find hidden access points through the reed belt, while at the Weissensee wooden walkways lead to small, secluded bathing bays.
