Carinthia: Places to Explore

Velden

Velden, the largest resort on the lake, is at the western end of the Wörther See. The atmosphere here strives to retain its international chic. The fact that a casino has settled here says a lot about Velden, which otherwise has very little in the way of sights. The town's most famous beauty spot is the lakeside promenade, accented by turn-of-the-century lamps and mansions. However, if you're looking for a tranquil holiday, Velden may be too exuberant. The town gets pricey in the July and August main season.
