Programme
Save Cycle Path 58 km
The Save Cycle Path connects Carinthia, Slovenia, and Italy. A special package has been created around the cycle path. Named after Slovenia's longest river, the Save, this family-friendly cycle path (length: 41 km) runs from Jesenice, through Kranjska Gora, to Tarvis. The continuously paved path partly winds through forests, over many bridges, or along a disused railway track.
Gail Valley Cycle Path 45 km
This route leads from Hermagor in the Gail Valley along the Gail to Villach. The Gail Valley is particularly charming due to the contrast between the flat, wide valley floor and the partly rugged mountain slopes. The strikingly straight furrow of the Gail Valley is part of the Periadriatic Seam, which separates the Southern Alps from the Central Alps. In the lower course, the valley is characterized over a distance of about ten kilometers by the so-called Schütt, the deposition area of two massive landslides that occurred in prehistoric times and in 1348 from Dobratsch (eastern spur mountain of the Gailtal Alps).
Pontebbana Cycle Path 50 km
In northeastern Italy, at the tri-border area between Austria, Italy, and Slovenia, lies one of Italy's most beautiful railway cycle paths: the new cycle path on the old "Pontebbana" railway line. Thanks to the EU, a 47-kilometer-long cycle path was created on the disused railway line from Tarvisio to Resiutta, running along the Fella River (Kanaltal /Valcanale) through the mountains of Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Particularly the section between Resiutta and Pietragliata is dotted with tunnels and bridges, offering breathtaking views of the river valley or the surrounding mountains. The path is well-developed and paved, although some shorter detours were necessary. Only the detour routes offer some short ascents/descents.

das balance - SPA & GOLF Hotel am Wörthersee in Detail
Your Hotel
Experience the most sunshine hours in Austria with a holiday at Lake Wörthersee. The hotel is situated in a picturesque setting, nestled in the stunning landscape of Carinthia. With the assistance of a university professor, a sanctuary of balance has been created, authentically and harmoniously integrating the four elements, right by Lake Wörthersee. The hotel is managed according to the Western theory of elements, as the four elements—earth, fire, water, and air—are the origin of all existence, the beginning of all life, and a symbol of health and joy. The Balance has been built upon this philosophy in architecture, design, nutrition, wellness treatments, and lifestyle. Each of the four elements is dedicated to colour, shape, material, and taste according to traditional European medicine. Lake Wörthersee, known for its crystal-clear water, offers numerous water sports opportunities and invites you to swim, sail, or stand-up paddle. The surrounding mountains and forests provide ideal conditions for hiking, cycling, and nature experiences. Nearby, idyllic places like Velden and Pörtschach, with their charming cafes, boutiques, and cultural highlights, beckon for exploration. The region is a paradise for nature lovers and those seeking tranquillity. The state capital, Klagenfurt, is just a 10-minute drive away.
Dining & Leisure
Indulge in a culinary enchantment at Balance, a restaurant celebrated multiple times by Gault Millau, À la Carte, and Falstaff, and ranked among the best in the country in 2020. Hostess and "freshly cooked" TV chef Andrea Grossmann crafts culinary delights with a deft touch at "la balance". The hotel prides itself on using high-quality, sustainable ingredients sourced from the surrounding region. Lake Wörthersee provides exquisite fish, while the meat and vegetables often come from the family's own farms. The hotel is also attentive to any dietary intolerances. At the nostalgic coffee table, look forward to a sweet temptation for your palate with homemade cakes and pastries, alongside exquisite coffee and tea specialties in a truly authentic and nostalgic setting. In the evening bar "4 Elements", conclude a restful day of vacation in a dreamlike ambiance.

The 23-metre long swimming pool offers nearly Olympic dimensions and is complemented by cosy lounging areas indoors and outdoors. A whirlpool overlooking the nearby Wörthersee lake crowns the bathing experience.
