Wörthersee is a lake in the southern Austrian state of Carinthia. The popular bathing lake is a main tourist destination in summer. Wörthersee is Carinthia's largest lake. It is elongated, about 16.5 km (10.3 mi) long and 1.5 km (0.93 mi) wide, and stretches from the outskirts of the Carinthian capital Klagenfurt in the east to the bay of Velden in the west. Situated within the Klagenfurt Basin, its shores are flanked to the north and south by the foothills of the Gurktal Alps and the Karawanks range, all covered with dense forests beyond which snow-capped Alpine peaks are visible. The lake's water is of a distinctive blue-green colour and transparent. Lake Wörth and its basin in the central Carinthian foothills were largely formed by glaciers during the last ice age. The lake is divided into three basins by several islands and peninsulas. The western basin stretches from Velden to Pörtschach, the central basin from Pörtschach to Maria Wörth and the eastern basin from Maria Wörth to Klagenfurt. Numerous brooks flow into the lake; its sole distributary is the artificial Glanfurt creek in the east, eventually flowing into the Drava (Drau) river via the Glan and Gurk tributaries. #seafoodfeast#deliciousfood#couplestrip#awesomepic#scubadiving#café#beautifulsunsets#bestislandtraveltowns#naturalwonders#culturalattractions#camping#lakes

#tripaway Just 20 mins from Villach, lays the gorgeous Dobratsch, or as they call it, the Villacher Alps! Not only it serves as the region’s drinking water and thermal water storage, but the landmark mountain has also bound many emotions as an ancient mountain pasture and pilgrimage destination for generations - two authetic churches at the top and variety of sun clocks near the last parking space. And of course 2167m of many clear breaths and breathtaking views! #tripaway
