Slow Trails Carinthia

Slow Trails

Slow trails are relaxed paths without stress, around ten kilometres long and with no more than 300 metres of elevation gain. None of them take longer than three hours to complete. You can swim anywhere – whether it’s a refreshing dip in the sparkling water of the lakes or even barefoot over soft moss cushions while forest bathing. Each slow trail has its own character, its own story – sometimes mystically enchanted, sometimes with exciting architectural elements, all with stunning views.

Discover the Slow Trails as part of the Balance Hiking Weeks package here.

Immerse yourself in idyllic landscapes between tranquil mountain lakes and legendary moorland. Escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life into a mystical gorge, where a stream babbles over moss-covered stones into the valley and a gentle forest path opens up a view of the vastness of the landscape. Discover box seats with special far-reaching views that allow you to relax and recharge your batteries. Enjoy an extraordinary cultural and natural experience in the middle of a mysterious moorland landscape, past unspoilt riverside passages and accompanied by views of the surrounding mountain scenery. Hike leisurely along a dense belt of reeds with rare specimens of flora and fauna such as reeds up to three metres high, pond roses, fir fronds, great crested grebes and special dragonfly species. A constant companion is the breathtaking view of the beautiful mountain-lake panorama of the surrounding landscape.
