SILENT.

To get into the Advent mood in a really contemplative and quiet way, the Advent-Engerln recommend a visit to the silent Advent in Pörtschach. Classically one listens there to the sounds of domestic choirs.

GREAT.

The floating Advent wreath in Velden Bay can be viewed up close. How? On a boat trip, of course.

EARNED.

To successfully complete Christmas shopping and gift hunting, Velden's merchants guarantee plenty of choice and the best advice.

REFRESHING.

Swimming in Lake Wörthersee also in winter! At the weekly winter swim on Sunday at 10.00 am in front of the Schlosshotel Velden meet real swimming fans. There the common jump into the cold water takes place. Likewise to the New Year swimming on 1 January. It is always worthwhile to be there or at least to watch.

VERSATILE.

In the villages around Lake Wörthersee there are numerous traditional events, which offer all guests a nice insight into the Carinthian Advent season. Of course also a fixed point for all locals.

ROMANTIC.

Authentic Advent concerts and a walk on the peninsula of Maria Wörth. A special insider tip during the contemplative Advent season. On the one hand to turn inward, on the other hand to look forward to a warming drink afterwards.

CLOUDLESS.

In order not to lose your vision in the winter fog, you should definitely visit the cloudless Advent market and observation tower on the Pyramidenkogel.

OLD AND NEW.

Different, but harmonious. In Klagenfurt, guests can expect different stagings of Christmas. To be found at the Old and New Square.

EERILY BEAUTIFUL.

Although our Krampusse teach you fear at the sight, the masks are usually very artistically designed. A visit to a Krampuslauf is a must on your Advent bucket list.
