Gurktal Valley winter wonderland

The region around the JUFA Hotel Stift Gurk**** is characterised by a wonderfully unspoilt landscape and the peaceful river that meanders through the Gurktal valley. We will be happy to tell you how you can enjoy your winter holiday here to the full!

Klagenfurt & Lake Wörthersee

The capital of Carinthia is located directly on the picturesque Wörthersee, Europe’s warmest Alpine lake. Discover the historic old town with its stone lindworm and visit one of the many museums. Or how about a boat trip on Lake Wörthersee?

In Minimundus you can experience the (small) world on Lake Wörthersee – without having to travel far. Right next door, the 1000 lizards, snakes and turtles at the Happ reptile zoo cast a spell over visitors young and old, while the planetarium opens up the wonderful world of the stars to you.

Gurk cathedral

Gurk is widely known and appreciated for its cathedral, its history and its favourable location – even the Pope has been here. The church, built in the Romanesque style, is one of the most important buildings of European sacred art. The treasury also has more than 300 objects to marvel at. During Lent, you can also admire the unique Gurk Lenten cloth!

Hochosterwitz Castle

The armoury, weapons collection and painting collection bear witness to the history of this unique fortification. As well as climbing up through the historic 14 gates, you can also reach the castle using the Fürst Max railway. The castle restaurant spoils you with local cuisine.

Straßburg Castle

The former seat of the bishops of Gurk is situated in an idyllic location on a mountain in front of the Gurktal Alps. The exhibition about the Straßburg princely residence and episcopal town shows the roots of the Gurk church, the diocese of Gurk and the origins of Straßburg.
