About Ossiacher See
The Ossiacher See lies northeast of Villach, along the slopes of the Gerlitzen. The shores comprise towns, trails and boarding points for boat services.
The outing can combine a stretch of shoreline with a visit to the Ossiach area. The abbey and the village buildings help to reveal the lake's human settlement. Boats and water activities depend on the season and should be checked before choosing a crossing.
It is not necessary to complete the full circuit to appreciate the landscape. Select a shore that is accessible by the transport you are using and allow time to walk. From June to September there is usually a greater range of activities; between December and February the program changes and daylight is short.
