Places worth making time for.

Millstatt Abbey

Explore the abbey church and historic cloister areas where public access is available. Check the museum and cultural programme before visiting.

The lakeside

Follow the promenade and find a place to pause by Millstätter See. Boat trips and swimming facilities operate according to seasonal arrangements.

Walks above the lake

The surrounding slopes offer a different perspective on the water. Ask the tourist service for routes suited to your time, ability and the weather.

Look a little closer

Romanesque details in the cloister

Look closely at the sculpted capitals and stonework. A little time spent with these details makes the abbey more than a quick photograph.
