Hiking gorges and waterfalls in Carinthia
Spending summer in Carinthia means experiencing nature with all your senses – especially where crystal-clear waters, roaring waterfalls and wild gorges create unforgettable adventures. Near the Thermenhotel Karawankenhof in Warmbad Villach, natural wonders are just around the corner.
A must-see is the Tscheppaschlucht Gorge, where wooden bridges and ladders lead through moss-covered rock walls, past thundering waterfalls and turquoise pools. Families love this trail – it’s exciting, safe and wonderfully refreshing. For those who prefer a challenge, the nearby Garnitzenklamm Gorge near Hermagor is a true paradise for experienced hikers.
Also close by is the Finsterbach Waterfall Trail in Sattendorf on Lake Ossiach, featuring three picturesque cascading streams. This short but varied route is ideal for families and offers stunning photo opportunities in a pristine natural setting.
The Villach region is a true treasure for nature lovers – and the Thermenhotel Karawankenhof is the perfect starting point. After an active day outdoors, the connected KärntenTherme is the perfect place to relax in thermal waters. Here, adventure and wellness blend into a harmonious vacation for all ages.
