Holiday Country Austria - Austria / II. Republic of Austria 2003 - 20 Euro Cent

Hardly a second brand of this series is closer to the holiday theme than just this, because only a whim of nature guarantees the Wörthersee clean water and a wonderful temperature of 25 - 28 degrees, making it the ideal bathing lake for many thousands of tourists. The Drava, which is heading for the lake, changes its direction 2 km before a conceivable confluence with the lake without any obvious cause (naturally geomorphologically justified). It flows meandering in 3 opposing arches to the southeast and then again to the east. The cooling of the lake by cold mountain water and a possible contamination remain thereby. The lying on the south bank, naming the lake Maria Wörth is for the cultural history interested from all places around the lake by far the most rewarding, so you with its core not lying on the lake Leave Klagenfurt aside. The Wörther church is one of the oldest in Carinthia and was after the migration of peoples the starting point for the missionary work of Freising. The insularity that existed until the 18th century also saved the church from destruction and plundering by the Turks. Today, the region around the 19.3 km long and 1.7 km wide Lake Wörthersee, which originated from a glacial glacier basin, leaves little to be desired for holidaymakers open. There are accommodations of all categories and ample facilities for all leisure activities.
