The Gailtal region and its pastures

The Gailtal stretches from East Tyrol all the way to Carinthia. The Gail river winds its way through the characteristically wide-bottomed valley and flows into the Drau river near Villach.  The valley also has numerous mountain lakes, such as Lake Presseger See, one of the warmest bathing lakes in Carinthia and a wonderful destination for nature enthusiasts, with its wide reed zone and crystal-clear water. Perfect for cooling down after a hike! Further up on the pastures, hikers will pass picturesque creeks, cascading waterfalls and romantic lakes. Lake Wolayersee and Lake Zollnersee are particularly beautiful.
