Carinthischer Sommer
The Carinthischer Sommer is one of Austria's oldest summer music festivals, running since 1969 in the Benedictine abbey at Ossiach on the shore of the Ossiacher See. The venue is the point: concerts in a working monastery church with Romanesque origins, on a lake that most tourists have never heard of.
