A paradise for active vacationers and event enthusiasts

Vacation in Finkenstein

Finkenstein is idyllically situated on lake Faaker See, nestled between the Drau to the north and the imposing Karawanken mountains to the south. Here, picturesque hiking and cycling trails (MTB tip: Trailcenter Faaker See by lake.bike) invite you to explore, while the turquoise and clean lake Faaker See entices with windsurfing, sailing and canoeing.

A nearby gem is the contemplative lake Aichwaldsee - a swimming paradise in summer, an ice sports oasis in winter and the destination of the delightful "Fox trail" family hike.

Finkenstein is known for its historic castle arena, which serves as a unique backdrop for cultural and exclusive events. Program items also take place here as part of the annual European Bike Week.
