V. Vysotsky
The first thing that comes to mind when you plan a summer vacation - go to the sea. But often, such a vacation turns into a headache: crowds of tourists, unbearable heat and guides who want to bet on you.
Meanwhile, you can truly relax in the mountains. The place is not obvious, but suitable. In order not to become ascetic and not to go into a multi-day hike, the mountains can be replaced with a ski resort.
In the summer there are no skiers and snowboarders, but there are incredible nature, pure gentle air, ringing silence and long-awaited peace. And also lounge chairs, pools, soft bed, delicious breakfast and summer festivals. There are such places in Austria - a country with majestic Alps, 70% of its area.
1. Zell am See
A steep ski resort, where in the summer even better than in winter. All thanks to the location: Zell am See is in the depths of the Alps. The city surrounds snowy trouts and the Kitzstinhorn glacier, and the foot is located the mountain lake Clerk. Therefore, in the summer here you can swim, and ski.

Zell am See is not a patonic resort for oligarchs, but not a boring depth. There is something to do and where to go. For example, the lake is diving, fishing and water entertainment. On the slopes of the mountains there are fields for golf, tennis and horse riding. There is a thermal complex "Tauern Spa", in which you can relax and restore forces.

Beach vacation, so loved by many, sometimes exclude from their family program with young children. It is connected with the reluctance of parents to expose the kid with long-term flights and acclimatization.
Indeed, a sharp climate change is transferred to children in different ways; In addition, some people, regardless of age, rest in hot countries are contraindicated. Meanwhile, resting lakes can be a vacation in the lakes.
Many countries of Europe can boast picturesque reservoirs, but Austria is considered to be a truly lake edge - 1270 lakes, as if jewels, decorate this country.
Lake Carinthia for rest with children
The greatest fame among tourists with children received Austrian ski resortsWhere in winter skiers from around the world go, but also for fans of heat here there is a real surprise: the climate of the South Carinthia, one of the federal lands of Austria, resembles Mediterranean.
It is here who come to relax families with children: in Carinthia there are more than 200 lakes suitable for swimming.
I often ask a question where, if not on the sea, relax in the summer with children? Now I know for sure the answer to this question, so for those who are too lazy to read the article entirely, I will answer in the first stitching of the material: So, if noisy resorts are tired of the sea and you want a village comfort, swimming in the purest lakes, walking on coniferous forests and healing mountain air, which normalizes the dream even very inflamed inevitable capital stress of parents, then excellent option For rest, the whole family is the Austrian region of Carinthia.
But, before telling directly about the region, first-in-speed I will list important moments regarding the rest with children. First, even compared to neighboring Italy in Carinthia very safe, that is, the level of care that with your child nothing happened here is extremely high, and the crime rate is one of the lowest in Europe; As a speaking example, only one fact - newspapers and magazines here are traded as follows: newspapers are simply placed in plastic bags on urban columns, under them - a box indicating the price, you omit the right amount in a transparent box, take the newspaper and go further by your affairs , In Italy, especially in the south, 10 minutes after the appearance of such a "kiosk", there would be no box or newspapers on the street.
The second is a lot important moment — excellent ecologyFor example, another fact that is very indicative - water in all local lakes is suitable for drinking. Third important point - magnificent infrastructure family holiday : In the vast majority of hotels there are game rooms and playgrounds, and a children's menu is invariably present in the buffet.

Yes, which is important, many hotel complexes in Carinthia work on the system "all inclusive" or HB, which, if you relax with babies, is also extremely convenient.
Five Magic Lakes Region
Austria in many Russians will certainly associate with winter ski holidayBut Carinthia in this sense is an exception to the rules, since the region is more focused on the summer holidays on the lakes. I told Tomas Michor (head of the Region Villach Tourismus), in the summer in the Carinthia of tourists three times more than in winter.
In the photo: Overview of beauty from the top of the Mountain Dobratsch Gipfelhaus
The fact is that the region is optimal for those who do not endure the heat, and in the summer there are no heat in the mountains, but, most importantly, Carinthia is not just a mountain, these are the lakes surrounded by the Alps. Lakes here, indeed, the number is unthinkable by the standards of a small region - a thousand two hundred, but the most famous - five.
In the photo: View of the Lake Valley from the top of the Austrian Alps
First - Worttersee, azure lake, on the shore of which a full-fledged resort is arranged. Here will like not only parents who have decided to spend summer holidays with children in Austria, but also young people who love classic resort leisure. Numerous bars are open on the lake, which serves local wine, beer and pertz Hugo - a type of pertza Aperol, however, wine in this case is diluted mineral waterwhere the sheet is added fresh mint, and sometimes syrup (do not believe!) From the flowers of elderly. Along the lake on the wooden floorings are sun beds, the discos are immediately open and even presents the casino.
However, the main local attraction - baddle Werzer's Badehaus. The fact is that the building of the bathroom was built in 1895, and although the last reconstruction of the building was held in a very nearby past, more precisely, in 2013, it retained his historical look. The bathhouse is equipped not only with mandatory saunas and spa, but also an open heated swimming pool, which automatically makes a bathing at any time of the year.

However, in the summer, the heated pool is hardly necessary for you, because water in the rooter is heated to 26 degrees. Other popular views of the local leisure: standing surfing with an oars for active vacationers and travel on a motor boat for those who prefer to relax and dreamly contemplate the blue smooth of the lake surrounded by the majestic mountains. By the way, on the poetic perception of the world, the nature of Carinthia, indeed, sets up to the fullest, no wonder in the vicinity of Wörthersee loved to create such famous composers like Brahms and Mahler. Yes, as I wrote above, water in all lakes of Carinthia is suitable for drinking, so you swim here are solid pleasure.

Second famous resort Carinthia is arranged on the shore of the lake, this place is worth considering those who are passionate about the fitness tours. The fact is that the center with talking name "Carinthy Lake Fitness", which is free for all guests of the region. The center coaches conduct swimming lessons, organize hiking and cycling tours around the surrounding area and other useful activity.

Lake Faoacker Zee. - A favorite place to relax with the kids. It is located on its shore, in which we lived during a trip to Karinthia.

It is equipped with Naturel Village by type of alpine villages: cozy wooden housesEach room has an adult and children's bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room and a balcony, which is so nice to the evening, watching how the pinking moon floats because of mountain peaks.
Two restaurants and a bar are open at the complex, the pool is located near the spa and several playgrounds, where the kids play under the supervision of educators, while parents rest in summer cafe. As for the food, in Naturel Village you can take accommodation and on the system "all inclusive", and half board, disappointed you will not be in both cases.
In the photo: Restaurant in Naturel Village
The buffet here is ignited, fresh pastries are invariably served for breakfast, local cheeses and famous Austrian apple juice, for dinner - fish from Lake Faoker Jee, who is preparing the most incredible ways, personally I was very impressed by trout baked in Bacon. For young guests of the hotel, by itself, a children's table is provided.
In the photo: Built Naturel Village in the forest
The complex is located in the present forest, for example, we even had a nest with chicks on the balcony, and on the territory of Naturel Village there is a "live corner", where goats and rabbits are inhabited, in a word, the perfect rustic village, quite, as in the film "Dirty dancing", remember, there in a similar village Handsome Patrick Singa gave dancing lessons with resting?
In the photo: On the balcony of our house there was a nest with chicks
The main feature of Naturel Village is a peacefulness and Milot, there is unwittingly penetrating the idea that happiness needs to be sought in the trifles, and if they are not fixed on the problems, they will dispel themselves like morning fog over the lake.

By the way, about the lake, the Faoker train is also called the turquoise or azure lake due to the unique color of water, popular leisure in addition to bathing and walks on catamarans - hiking on local coniferous forests, as well as tours for canoeing on swampy terrain, of course, accompanied by guides .

The cost of living in Naturel Village: from 80 to 120 euros (per room on four), reference to the official website of the complex :.

We meet that rabbits, then heroes, then grazing nearby goats
A decent alternative to Naturel Village, located on the Faoker Zee, - Resorts lake Weisssensee. The peculiarity of Weissensee is that, despite the fact that the lake is very high in the Alps, water is heated to 22 degrees. For children, in addition to bathing, other leisure options are also provided, for example, alloy on rafts or visits national Park Robert Rybl, where kids together with the Ranger can go on a scuba duration.
Another lake, on the shore of which it is worth stopping the lovers of all active and sports, - where, among other things, the Music Festival "Carinthy Summer" is satisfied. Since free winds are invariably blowing in this area, Ozhachor more popular among windsurfing lovers, paragliders train at the next mountain range, and the cyclists are mastering local bikers, the length of which is about 27 kilometers. In a word, a lake for those who consider summer vacation, as another opportunity to work out sports.
Last lake in today's review - Millestater Zee., here not only to young parents, but also in love with couples, or young parents who again want to feel just in love. The fact is that the lake is surrounded by romantic bays, from the wooden flooring of which it is so pleased to dive in warm water, plus a bathhouse with saunas and massages on the shore of the lake, and in addition, at dawn there is often a boat walks here that guests can admire the following Like the morning fog at first gently, like a veil, caresses the blue church of the lake, and then dissipates without a trace under the transparent, pink rays of the rising sun.
What to see and what to do in Carinthia?
Perhaps it sounds not entirely right, but, in my opinion, during the rest in Carnya, it is not specially riding in the Austrian towns in search of attractions. During holidays in this region, the country is better to recall the words of Vysotsky about the "Guy in Trani Mountain" and go on one of hiking routes - conquer the mountain peaks.
In the photo: Walk in the Alps, on the observation site
Immediately I have a hurry to reassure the panicers and unsports: for hiking tours, special preparation and special uniforms are not needed, it is quite enough to get trekking boots, comfortable sportswear and a backpack. Routes for hiking rises in Caritia set, maps with detailed descriptions You can get in any hotel in the region, they are issued here as the map of the city in Rome or in Paris - each tourist in his hands. Personally, during a trip to the region, Dobratsch Gipfelhaus has made a hiking rush to the ski peak of Dobratsch Gipfelhaus, the famous Alpine herbs is located at his foot, and the church at an altitude of 2143 meters was erected on the top of the sea.
In the photo: Church on the top of the Dobratsch Gipfelhaus
Must warn, lifting in the mountains - the entertainment is not for the weak spirit and gentle body. Let the process take only 1.5 hours, during this time the muscles of the whole body get so comprehensive load that you understand, regular classes in the gym - not a versatile way to work out stamina. But when you find yourself on the top of the mountain, you arrange at the local restaurant, where you serve delicious sausages, and you begin to admire the view from the top of the neighboring mountains, you encompass the feeling of delight, mixed with the feeling of victory over yourself.
In the photo: Austrian Alps are beautiful
The beauties of the Alpine meadows enjoy already on the descent and the next day you think for the next time: "Do not repeat the experience of climbing?", At the same way that the muscles are still someone after yesterday, attention is already somehow you do not pay attention.
If you are not ready for hiking climbs, but the mountains are still sitting on you and call you, then you can get to the tops with the help of funicular, which are many in Carinthia. The most famous cable roads - Bergbahnen and Mayrhofner. Another option of a relaxed program - cruises on ships on the lakes of the region or on the river to the city of Phillah (Villach).
In the photo: These types are opened during a river cruise.
Restaurants are open on the boats, so during the trip you simply sneeze wine or beer, watching the living in the life of the swans in the reeds in the reeds, and at the same time you remember the song from the movie "Three in the boat, not counting the dog" about the "gentle, quiet and good river "
In the photo: a street with numerous umbrellas in the center of Klagenfurt
If natural beauty You will still pull in the cities, you can look at the town of Fillah for one day and Klagenfurt (Klagenfurt). Both are small, the milestone, what is called, gingerbread. It makes sense to stroll through the center, eat in a local cafe strudel or cake Zaher and, of course, go shopping, the fact is that Luxury class clothes and shoes in Austria are cheaper than even in neighboring Italy.
In the photo: a fountain in the form of a brewer in the center of Klagenfurt
Well, and fans of castles and gloomy Middle Ages recommend to climb the Mining area of \u200b\u200bFinkenstein, where the famous Castle of Hochosterwitz (Hochosterwitz) is banging on top of a hundred fifty-meter rock. Although the first mention of the fortress belongs to the 860s of our era, the modern building of the castle was erected in the sixteenth century. By the way, the castle in those times was not just a strengthening or housing of a rich landowner, but the city in miniature, in which it is easy to see, walking along the Gorostervitzy.
In the photo: Hochosterwitz Castle (Hochosterwitz) on the top of the cliff
Once residential buildings are hidden behind the fortress walls, the museums and restaurants are located, and even in Gorostervitz, reconstructs often arrange historical shows, plus the festivals of music of the Middle Ages and Renaissance are held here.
Kitchen Carinthia: What to try?
Of course, the main gastronomic specialty of the region is a lake fish, more precisely, the Carinthian "Laxn" is a local trout variety. Prepare it with the most diverse ways: from simply roasted on grill or baked in foil to options with seasonings from herbs from alpine meadows. What is particularly nice, fish in Karinthia restaurants is served from that lake, on whose coast you have decided to have lunch. Among the gourmes seats, I would like to advise the coastal area of \u200b\u200bLake Wörthersee: all 27 restaurants opened on the shore are included in the restaurant rating of Miio, and therefore the quality of the dishes are above the "excellent".

We recommend discovering Austrian wines from drinks. The fact is that Carinthia borders with the Italian region Friuli-Venice-Julia, which is known for the fact that it is there that the magnificent Sovignon Blanc is produced, as well as the famous Friulano. The traditions of the Carinthian winemakers as a whole have common roots with the traditions of wine production in Friuli-Venice-Julia, but, though, and white, and the red wines of Carinthia are worthy of tasting, on my personal taste, the White Carinthic Wine wins in comparison with red. Riesling and Chardonon local production - dry wines with a thin, tart taste and bright aroma, and, importantly, they are very good in combination with lake fish. Well, of course, it is impossible not to note the classic Austrian beer and apple-pear cider.
How to get to Carinthia?
You can get to Carinthia as follows - flight to Vienna, and then flight to the Klagenfurt; The second option - arrival at the airport of Ljubljana in neighboring Slovenia, then take a car for rent (time on the way about an hour), the third option - flight to Venice (Italy), and then on the car, time in the way will take about two hours, Italy with Austria connects Highway, the fare is 15 euros.
If you are bored with the rest by the sea or in the forest, you always welcome the mountains - majestic and unpredictable. Here you can spend great time both in the winter and summer. By the way, the Alpine Ski Resorts are pleased to guests even in a hot season. Visitors are provided with a wide range of diverse entertainment, and the picturesque scenery of nature will not leave anyone indifferent.
