Guesthouse Karawanken Lodge (Faak am See, Austria)

About Karawanken Lodge

Karawanken Lodge is located in Faak am See. The Faaker Lake close to Villach is the perfect place for beach and active holidays. In summer, the light blue coloured lake at the foot of the Mittagskogel warms up to 28 degrees. The beach area at Faak is a 2-3 minute ride away from our house and it is free of charge for our guests. You can swim in the lake or rent stand-up paddle boards. There are many different hiking trails for beginners and advanced hikers all along the lake. The Kanziani mountain, one of the most spectacular climbing mountains of Carintia, with over an 300 different tours and up to 400 rope length, can be reached within 10 minutes. Our house is located next to a beautiful forrest and a lot of mountain-bike trails pass by it. The region Villach is also wonderful to visit in the winter months. A 15 km drive from our house away are two great skiing areas to choose from: the Gerlitzen Alpe and the Dreiländereck. Non-skiers can cross-country ski, ice-skate, or do curling. Several cross-country slopes pass directly by Faak, and some of the lakes around Faak freeze in the winter and thus allow activities mentioned above on the ice. The big garden surrounding our house has sun chairs and hammocks for our guests.
