Discover summer fun for the whole family at Lake Pressegger on the sunny side of the Alps

The Presseggersee is truly a hidden gem, tucked away between mountains and forests in the south of Carinthia, close to Italy. This warm lake – sometimes reaching 28 degrees in summer! – is perfect for swimming or boating. It is located near Hermagor, right in the middle of a beautiful nature reserve that has been protected since 1970. Here you can enjoy plenty of sunshine and an almost Mediterranean atmosphere. 

Perfect for a relaxing summer day by the water!

Fancy a refreshing dip? At Vorderberg Adventure, you and your family can jump into a cool, natural swimming pond! Kids have their own spot, there’s a large pool for everyone, and the water stays nice and clean thanks to the regeneration pool.

Feeling hungry? Check out the cozy snack bar to recharge!
