Faaker See, tastier than ever

Faaker See, tastier than ever
With the extraordinary culinary diversity of the Alps-Adriatic region right on its doorstep, our border triangle has always been a popular meeting place for gourmets. Building on this, Villach and its surroundings have now established themselves as a special area of enjoyment in the heart of Carinthia, above all thanks to the KÜCHENKULT initiative.

As refreshment stops for the excursions, we would like to draw special attention to the Carinthian Slow Food establishments, which conjure up the highest regional quality on the plates.
