Kasnudel Mediterranean - Carinthia's southern Alpine cuisine
Carinthia's cuisine combines influences from Austria,
Slovenia, and Italy into a Mediterranean Alpine cuisine. What initially sounds incompatible works excellently on the plate. Kasnudel is Carinthia's most famous dish. Kasnudel comes in savory and hearty variations or sweet temptations filled with plums or cherries. Some examples include potatoes, bacon, dried meat, topfen (quark), spinach, pesto, chard, cheese, and much more. Due to the many lakes in the area (Lake Ossiach, Wörthersee,
Mittelstätter See), fish are at the top of the menu. The crystal-clear water of the mountain lakes supports trout, char, Carinthian Låxn, and carp. Crayfish are found in streams. Hikers enjoy stopping at Jausengasthäuser (snack bars) or Buschenschenken (wine taverns). These small dining rooms on farms offer only what the farm produces. A typical Brettljause includes homemade bread, mountain cheese, smoked and air-dried sausages, bacon, and eggs. A Buschenschenken guide reveals which taverns are currently open (ausg'steckt). Finally, let's mention Carinthians' two favorite drinks: apple must and beer. Apple must is the traditional drink from the Lavanttal region. Good beer comes from regional breweries such as Klagenfurt or Hirt (established in 1270).
With family and dogs around and in Lake Ossiach
The region around Lake Ossiach, Carinthia's third-largest lake, is perfect for a
holiday with a dog or pet in Klagenfurt-Villach. There are many kilometers of hiking and cycling trails around the lake, as well as two designated dog beaches and family beaches. Your four-legged family members are allowed off the leash in Messner beach. On the Ossiacherseeradweg R2, the lake can be circumnavigated in one day by bike. The Peterlewand, a climbing wall near St. Urban in Bodensdorf, offers sporting challenges. The wall is 35 meters high and made of solid primary rock. A student from Bodensdorf created the first climbing routes at Peterlewand in the 1980s. Some of the routes are even a challenge for experienced climbers. How about a hike to Gerlitzen or around Lake Ossiach?
