The Millstaetter See in Carinthia is the region’s second-largest lake, quieter and better for hiking than the Woerthersee. Exceptional water quality and the Hoehensteig trail above the northern shore make it the Carinthian lake choice for visitors who prefer hiking to beach clubs. The Benedictine abbey at Millstatt, founded over 1,000 years ago, is the historical anchor for the northern shore. Accessible by car from Spittal an der Drau; no direct train. Summer bathing from Millstatt and Seeboden shores.
