Culinary Hiking in the Heart of Carinthia
Discover mountains and culinary delights in the holiday region Villach - Lake Faak - Lake Ossiach
In Region Villach – Lake Faak – Lake Ossiach the word ‘HÜTTENKULT’ is the name for the delightful combination of hiking up to mountain huts and enjoying a delicious meal there. It is the perfect way to get to know the country, the people and the mountains and to enjoy culinary bursts of flavours, regardless of the time of year. Kurt, our little mountain-hut mascot will accompany you on all your hikes. All summer long you can join the hunt for stamps to add to your HÜTTENKULT collective passport and enter a prize draw at the end of the hiking season. Try out the specialities in each hut and you will get a stamp. Every passport with at least four stamps from four different huts can be sent to us.
