Summeractivities

Seltschach is located in Carinthia, in the area where the three cultures of Austria, Italy and Slovenia meet. In the summer you will find that there is plenty to do in the area. Let us give you some suggestions for a great holiday in this beautiful area:

  • Affenberg is a nature park where 160 Japanese macaques live freely.
  • In the Adler Arena you can get real close with beautiful, imposing birds of prey. 
  • Rosegg Zoo is a beautiful park for walking and feeding the free roaming animals.
  • At the Kletterwald on the Ossiacher See you can climb and clamber to your heart's content on a challenging trail for young and old. Highly recommended!
  • The Obir stalactite caves are well worth a visit. Take a look inside the mountain range and be amazed by the beauty of nature.
  • A visit to the beautiful city of Villach is definitely recommended during your stay. The Hauptplatz has been car-free for years. The square is the beating heart of Villach with interesting shops (Atrio is recommended for shoppers), hotels, cafes and restaurants with facades in different pastel shades. The city has a beautiful historic center, many sights and is formed by its location on the three-country point of Italy, Slovenia and Austria. In the city you will feel that Italy is close by. 
  • Around the town of Villach are a number of lakes to entertain you for hours on end:
    • The Faaker See; Clear blue water, surrounded by the Karawanken massif. Several beaches for swimming and enjoying the beautiful surroundings.
    • Ossiacher See; This lake is located between the Gerlitzer Alpe and the Ossiacher Tauern. A lovely lake for swimming, sailing, surfing, water skiing and diving.
    • Silber See; A small swimming lake on the outskirts of Villach. Ideal place to spend some time enjoying yourself.
    • St. Magdalener See; This lake is really a well kept secret of Carinthia. An idyllic and quiet place in nature where you can see the fish swimming.
