If you ever come to Austria, do yourself a favour and spend some days on a lake and explore the tasteful alpine-adriatic cuisine in various restaurants at the lake side and in the hills. I am still amazed how clean the mineral rich water is and how refreshing to swim with Svans passing by.
The Lake is located in the heart of Austria’s southernmost state Corinthia and is the perfect destination for all those looking for recreation with its surrounding mountain hills, situated at an altitude of approximately 588 metres, 12 kilometres long, up to 1.5 kilometres wide - which makes it the second-largest lake in Carinthia after Lake Wörthersee, located in the 3-Corners Region of Austria, Italy and Slovenia. It is definitely the most popular one.
However, since the Millstätter See is up to 141 metres deep, it contains the most water of all lakes in Carinthia. Some nerd calculated the amount to be 1,170 cubic metres and even added this terribly useful piece of information on the respective wikipedia article - Source
There are a wide range of bathing areas located around Millstätter See.
I was lucky to visit my friends gorgeous little house, sleeping at Anneliese's little privat home with her wonderful garden she manages all by herself at age 87. She is a single mother with one son and was never married. What a sweet lady!
The good morning view from her balcony picking delicious kiwi's , apples and grapes for a typical Austrian breakfast.
This was my peaceful sunbathing spot at the pier in Seeboden for the afternoon.

Those gracious Svan's followed my journey swimming to the middle of the lake and I hope you will experience such beauty as well one day!
PS : I hope that my country as many others will keep our oceans and lakes as clean as I found them for such such smashing weekend in pure nature!

Austria save a lot of the beauty of natural panorama. Perhaps the government in Austria is really concerned about the environment there. So all the natural beauty is always awake.
Awesome photos and information. Thanks for sharing your wonderful journey and experience. Almost like we can be there enjoying it also.
Das sind wirklich wunderschöne Fotos. Und dies direkt in meinem Nachbarland. Man braucht nicht so weit zu reisen, um an die schönsten Orte der Welt zu gelangen. LG
This place is really beautiful. Some of the landscapes in the pictures you posted are magic :)
I'd really need a couple of days of break in a place like that! here it is bloody hot.
@mammasitta Austria is a country rich with history, beautiful places, traditions and activities that are distinct to the area. Along with neighboring Switzerland, it is the winter sports capital of Europe. However, Austria is just as popular for summer tourists who visit its historic cities and villages and hike in the magnificent scenery of the Alps.
Tourist attractions in Austria that are sure to make your trip extra special.
@mammasitta I really like to travelled here.In Austria 1 of my favorite place which is-
Hohenwerfen Castle -
The castle is a way to truly get to know medieval life, and the falconry in particular is a big draw for travelers.
And like to whenever I travelled here so I like to bike riding with you!! Lolz it's a better ways to travelled Austria.
Well thanks for sharing with us these amazing nature of Austria.
