Gentle updrafts, gently rolling mountain peaks, lapping water, long sunsets and bright stars in the sky are the ingredients for our TIME together. Between Lake Millstatt and the Nockberge Mountains, there are very special experiences and places for moments together.
In Carinthia, hiking boots are already being packed. Lovers and those in love set off from Lake Millstatt on a hike along the "Path of Love. Sentiero dell'amore". Ahead of them lie magnificent views of Lake Millstatt, a panoramic swing, ruby-red secrets and seven places that invite you to stay a little longer. Each place has been equipped with a book, and each book deals with a different chapter of love. This allows couples to reflect on their craziest love experiences or refresh their memories of the moments when they first met. The destination is the Garnet Gate high above Lake Millstatt.
Tip: Ruby red tokens of love
The Millstätter Alpe is a treasure trove. Hikers regularly pick up ruby-red garnets from the path. Perhaps this is because they are also known as the flints of love. Once upon a time, even the emperor enjoyed them.
This is indicated by the Garnet Gate on the Path of Love. Those who have not found what they are looking for on the hike can visit the Granatium. In this world of adventure, everything revolves around the ruby-red gemstone, and in the mining area, you will also find the right tools to extract a particularly beautiful token of love from the rock.
A day at the thermal baths in Bad Kleinkirchheim rewards you with hours of relaxation and views of the Nockberge mountains. The Millstatt Bathhouse invites you to enjoy a sauna with a view of the lake. A garnet stone massage and a romantic dinner in the restaurant are part of a romantic holiday for two.
Those who prefer a more "private" experience can book a day spa between the mountains and the lake for a few hours or even longer. Whether it's exclusive, right by the lake, with its own thermal water pool, breakfast and/or dinner: Each couple decides for themselves.
A night under the stars – exclusive, peaceful and just for two. In the bivouacs on Lake Millstatt, time becomes a shared experience between sky and water, surrounded by silence and starlight.
