The Klopein Lake
The Klopein Lake is a pleasure lake in eastern Carinthia, close to the borders of Carinthia and Slovenia. It belongs to the town Sankt Kanizan am Klopeiner See and is one of the warmest lakes in Europe, offering a wide rand of cultural and entertaining activities.
About the Klopein Lake
The Klopein Lake is the vestige of a then bigger post-glacial lake. It is fed by a small tributary and a water table from which the lake delivers a little water. In consequence, the temperature of the lake can reach 28 degrees and makes it one of the hottest in Europe, but also one of the most damaged by the human civilization.
Following the delivering of biological water in the early 80’s, Sankt Kanizan am Klopeiner See begun taking actions in order to revitalize and protect the lake, and that with huge success: in fact, the Klopein Lake is today one of the most protected lakes in Europe and the quality of its water attracts aquatic sports lovers as well as tourists from all over the world.
Surrounding the Klopein Lake, you will find Sankt Kazian, Klopein, Seelach and many restaurants, beaches, boat and bike renting companies along with shops. It is possible to walk around the lake by foot or onboard a panoramic train, by car or by Quad. If the local services are not sufficient, two other pleasure lakes waiting closeby (the Turnersee Lake and the small lake), the Turnersee aviary, the Orbi Grottoes and many other tourist attractions and wonders.
