I need vacation!

I have to confess ... I ran out ideas, I do not know what to write about. My head hurts so badly, because I have about 5 exams to take and I am constantly studying or procrastinating. I know, sounds aweful and it is!!
So as I was up late yesterday, I searched through the web and found something interesting about my home: Carinthia and its beautiful landscape, surrounded by mountains and lakes.. I miss it really much lately and looking through the tourism page calmed me down a little bit.

Vacation on The Klopeiner See

I have to admit, I did not even know that you can do so many adventurous things around there, so I was pretty amazed. You have the opportunity to spend your vacation all year. You can go swimming in summer, hiking in spring and autumn and go skiing in winter. Basically everything is nearby.

What can you do in the winter?

In southern Carinthia there a plenty of opportunities to go skiing or snowboarding. When you are with your family, it is better to go to the Petzen. The ski slopes are not that steep, so perfect enough to teach toddlers how to ski ;-)
Strolling around the icy scenery is my favourite activity, because I never learned how to ski (unfortunately).

What can you do in the summer?

In summer, the entertainment in this area is even higher.
Depending on what passion you have (being lazy or being sporty and adventurous), this is the place to be. There are about seven rather small lakes and two of them are the more busy once. The Klopeiner See and the Turnersee. These lakes are two kilometers apart and can easily be reached by car, bike or public transportation as well. Also mountain biking in this area is said to be extreme as well as beautiful. Mostly I like to go swimming and play volleyball. As I am more lazy in the winter, I like to be more active in summer whenever there is time.

If you decide to spend your vacation in Austria, Carinthia is worth a look... :-)
