Over Easter, on our way to Croatia, we stopped in Carinthia and spent two nights at the Parkhotel Pörtschach on the beautiful Lake Wörthersee. This traditional hotel, celebrating its 60th anniversary this year, is one of THE hotel institutions on Lake Wörthersee. Unlike many other hotels, this four-star superior hotel has managed to combine the retro flair of the 1960s with thoroughly modern elements. Today, the hotel offers a truly special ambiance, which completely captivated us during our two-day stay. Added to this is the unique peninsula location with its large hotel park right on the lake. You can read about our experiences in and around the hotel in my travel report.
