A golf break for parents

Playing golf.
Enjoy family life.
Experience Carinthia.

A few hours on the green, whilst the children are well looked after at Kids Club — that’s how a family holiday can also become a personal break.

Whilst the children explore the Trebesingerhof Water World, Kids Club and the gardens, adults can enjoy some time to themselves on the golf course.

Here’s how to combine your family holiday with some time for yourselves — in a relaxed, flexible way, as part of a holiday that works for everyone.

What’s in store for you this summer —

13 places to visit · 5 to 60 minutes · The Carinthia Card is free in summer.

KCard

Nockberge Biosphere Reserve

Gentle alpine pastures, rounded peaks — hiking for families

🚗 5 mins · 3 km 👨‍👩‍👧 from 0+ 🎟️ Free KCard

Right on your doorstep. Gentle alpine slopes, cows with bells, no fear of heights — many of the paths are suitable for pushchairs.

Our tip

The Nockalmstraße — one of Carinthia’s most scenic routes. There are plenty of alpine huts along the way where you can stop for a bite to eat whilst enjoying views of the meadows.

KCard

Millstätter See

Carinthia’s deepest lake, as warm as a bath in July

🚗 30 mins · 28 km 👨‍👩‍👧 from 0+ 🎟️ Free KCard

The nearest swimming lake. Around 12 km long, with water of drinking quality, and pleasantly warm in the height of summer. Boat trips, stand-up paddleboarding, pedalos.

Our tip

Beach resorts in Millstatt, Seeboden and Döbriach — all with gentle slopes for children. Free boat trips and access to the beach resorts with the KCard.

Großglockner High Alpine Road

Austria’s highest mountain, one of the most beautiful mountain roads in the world

🚗 45 mins · 42 km 👨‍👩‍👧 ages 4 and over

The famous panoramic road leading up to the Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe. Marmots, viewing platforms and the Pasterze Glacier right before your eyes.

Our tip

Set off early — the approach to the toll booth gets congested quickly on fine days. Head for the Edelweißspitze for panoramic views in all directions.

Hidden gem

Maltatal

Valley of the Plunging Waters — Waterfalls, reservoir, climbing

🚗 25 mins · 22 km 👨‍👩‍👧 ages 4 and over

Between the Hohe Tauern and the Reißeck Group. A high-altitude alpine reservoir with turquoise water; the Fallbachfall (Austria’s highest waterfall in terms of free-fall height).

Our tip

On hot days, carry on up to the Kölnbreinsperre — up there, the mountain air is much cooler than down in the valley.

KCard Indoors

Knappenberg Show Mine

Heading down into the mine — perfect even in the rain

🚗 40 mins · 35 km 👨‍👩‍👧 ages 4 and over 🎟️ Free KCard

Take the mine train deep into the mountain. Put on your helmet, switch on your lamp — experience a slice of mining history up close. It’s cool inside all year round — do bring a jacket.

Our tip

Give them a call in advance — the guided tours are often fully booked in summer. In Hüttenberg, the Heinrich Harrer Museum is right on the way home.

KCard

Rosegg Wildlife Park

Local animals, petting zoo, maze

🚗 55 mins · 60 km 👨‍👩‍👧 from 0+ 🎟️ Free KCard

Native and exotic animals, a petting zoo with goats and sheep, and a large hedge maze. Rosegg Castle is right next door.

Our tip

Combine this with a trip to Lake Wörthersee — after the zoo, head to the lido in Velden, about 15 minutes further on.

KCard

Hochosterwitz Castle

A fairytale castle perched on a rock — 14 gates, 100 metres high

🚗 60 mins · 65 km 👨‍👩‍👧 ages 4 and over 🎟️ Free KCard

One of Austria’s most beautiful castles. 14 historic gates, an inclined lift for families with pushchairs. Castle museum with armoury.

Our tip

Have something to eat before you start the climb — the walk through the 14 gates takes a while.

🚗 60 mins · 65 km 👨‍👩‍👧 ages 4 and over 🎟️ Free KCard

Reptiles from all over the world — snakes, crocodiles, spiders, scorpions. Not suitable for very young children, but a real highlight for those aged 6 and over.

Right next door is Minimundus, with miniature versions of famous buildings. It’s a great place to visit as part of the same trip.

KCard

Landskron Monkey Mountain

Japanese macaques up close, glass-free enclosure

A whole group of Japanese macaques lives in the wild in a woodland enclosure. Guided tours with keepers are available, and right next door is the Burg Landskron Eagle Arena.

Go in the morning — that’s when the monkeys are more active. It’s best to leave snacks and glittery jewellery in the car.
