Discover Podlanig in the Lesachtal Valley

Podlanig in the Lesachtal Valley offers several specific points of interest for planning your trip. The Biohof Herzog organic farm and the Weissensee fitness nature park are located in the village. Pressegger See and the Nassfeld ski area are within the municipality of Hermagor-Pressegger See. If you are planning a stay, it helps to distinguish places directly associated with Podlanig from destinations within the municipality, and to consider excursions in terms of their respective locations.

Hiking and nature

The “Kameritsch Kühweg RW_N23” hike is easy and 12.66 km long. At kilometer 9.2, it passes through Podlanig. The two figures refer to different things: 12.66 km is the total length of the hike, while kilometer 9.2 marks the section in the village. This lets you consider the route length and its connection to Podlanig separately, if both are important for your plans.

Garnitzenklamm Gorge near Hermagor is 4 km long and the longest gorge in Carinthia. Weather, winter conditions or storm damage can affect access. Check the conditions before your visit if you are planning to go to the gorge.

Pressegger See and seasonal activities

Pressegger See is within the municipality of Hermagor-Pressegger See and is Carinthia’s ninth-largest lake. Erlebnispark Kärnten is located right by the lake. Pedal boating and a giant water slide are offered there; the park operates seasonally. Take this seasonal schedule into account when planning your visit. This gives you two specific activities to choose from at the lake, while Garnitzenklamm Gorge and the hike offer different highlights.

Culture and regional produce

The GailtalMuseum in Möderndorf Castle near Hermagor houses more than 5,000 artifacts. The Biohof Herzog organic farm at Podlanig 3, 9620 Hermagor-Pressegger See, sells organic Angus beef as well as grain, flour, bread and honey directly from the farm. A cultural attraction near Hermagor and a specific range of products in Podlanig thus complement the nature and leisure destinations. If you are bringing together different interests for your trip, you will find both a museum and direct sales of regional produce here.

Cycling, winter and getting there

The Slow Food cycle route offers a different point of reference: it runs west from Hermagor through the Gailtal Valley to Kötschach-Mauthen.

You can use these details to plan your cycling trip at the level that suits you.
