... nothing like pure crystal clear water - the Faaker See invites you to water sports

Lake Faak is Carinthia’s fifth-largest lake and is situated south of Villach. Its turquoise-blue waters make it one of Austria’s most popular swimming lakes.  Lake Faak is surrounded by gentle hills and forests. Its deepest point is around 30 m and, thanks to the sandy bed, its waters are crystal-clear, clean and of drinking water quality.

 

A swimming facility, vast and lined by shade-providing trees, at probably the most beautiful beach of Lake Faak is available free of charge for guests of the  Adventure Hotel Pirker.
