The geographical center of Carinthia
Vacation in Arriach
Arriach is located in the middle of Carinthia, an idyllic village just twenty kilometres north of Villach. It is the geographical centre of Austria's southernmost province.
At 900 meters above sea level, the Slow Food Village Arriach is the home of indulgence. Regional specialties can be sampled with a view of the gentle peaks of the Nockberge mountains.
The impressive Wöllaner Nock and the imposing Gerlitzen Alpe are nestled in unspoiled nature - perfect destinations that can be explored on foot, by mountain bike or on skis.
