Faaker See, tastier than ever

With the outstanding culinary diversity of the Alps-Adriatic region right on our doorstep, our tri-border region has always been a beloved meeting point for epicures. Building o this through the KÜCHENKULT and HÜTTENKULT initiatives, Villach and the surrounding region have established themselves as a region of culinary delights in the heart of Carinthia.

In this tradition, and with more than 20 years of real experience with #BikerFood, local eateries have dry-aged their meats and have started up their smokers and wood-red ovens for hungry #Backtotheroads guests. Many establishments in the region have again this year come up with special culinary offers for September.

We would especially like to mention the Carinthian Slow Food restaurants as refreshment stops for your rides, as they put together the meals with the very highest regional quality.

Even the right soundtrack for a fitting stay on Faaker See has been taken care of. In addition to the culinary program, regional restaurants have spent the last several months putting together cultural events. The outdoor seating areas, dining rooms, and terraces of many establishments are being turned into concert stages. With the motto “the lake rocks,” widely diverse live bands and DJs are rocking out every evening in restaurants and bars in the region - with 50 concerts altogether. Of course, all concerts will take place under strict observance of all necessary safety precautions!

There is free admission to the entire “the lake rocks” live music program between September 8th-11th. Click here for program information.
