Wörthersee

The Wörthersee located in Carinthia and is the most visited bathing lake in this state. It is 17 km long, about 1.7 km wide and up to 85 meters deep. He is with us through the lumbar canal Klagenfurt connected and is drained via the Glanfurt to the Drau. Because of the sparse inflows, the water temperature is relatively high (up to 28 degrees C), but the water quality is quite good. Not only that, because the quality of the water in the Wörthersee corresponds to drinking water quality.
