Millstätter See, Österreich - a photo on Flickriver

            Der Millstätter See ist ein See nördlich des Drautals bei Spittal in Kärnten (Österreich). Er liegt in 588 m Seehöhe, ist 11,5 Kilometer lang und bis zu 1,8 Kilometer breit und nach dem Wörthersee Kärntens zweitgrößter, mit 141 m tiefster und mit 1204,5 Millionen Kubikmetern wasserreichster See.Größere Ansiedlungen am See finden sich ausschließlich am Nordufer, darunter sind Seeboden, Millstatt und Döbriach die drei größten Ortschaften. 

Während einer Reise nach Kroatien haben wir 3 schöne Tage hier verbracht.Wunderbar, dort zu wandern oder sich in den erfrischenden Naturbädern am See zu tummeln.

Lake Millstatt, Austria 

is a lake in Carinthia, Austria. It is situated at 588 metres above the Adriatic (1,929 ft), north of the Drava Valley within the Gurktal Alps (Nock Mountains) range of the Central Eastern Alps, near the town of Spittal an der Drau. With a surface area of 13.3 km2 (5.1 sq mi) Lake Millstatt is the second largest lake of Carinthia (after Lake Wörth), though with a depth of 142 m (466 ft) the most voluminous by far.

Its steep shore gives the lake a fjord-like character. The Millstätter Alpe mountains in the north up to 2,100 m (6,900 ft) protect it from cold winds, so the water temperature can reach 25 °C (77 °F) in summer. The narrow and long surface stretches over 12 km (7.5 mi) from east to west. In the south the wooded Hochgosch plateau, with a breadth of 2 km (1.2 mi) and an elevation of 876 m (2,874 ft), divides the lake from the parallel Drava Valley.

During our drive  to Croatia we took a break there for 3 lovely days. 
Lake Millstatt is a wonderful area to discover its culture,for bike trips, a hike in the mountains or/and enjoy swimming in a natural lido in the lake.

Wishing you a lovely week, dear friends.
