Time out on a farm in Carinthia | Farm Holidays in Austria

Taking time out means something different for each of us: while some want to get away from the daily grind, others want to explore and experience new things. And others, on the other hand, want to indulge in their leisure time and simply enjoy themselves. A time-out on a farm in Carinthia offers all of this and a little bit more: an unspoilt environment with flowering meadows, lakes with special water quality and lots of forests with fresh air.

Well-tempered lakes and fresh forest air

Around 60 percent of the entire province is covered by forest. This makes Carinthia the second most forested federal state after Styria. When it comes to bathing lakes, however, hardly any other federal state can hold a candle to it: Carinthia's 44 bathing lakes have particularly pure water quality and are also extremely warm in summer.

This multifaceted landscape is home to a wide variety of farms. Whether in the valleys, around lakes or on the higher alpine pastures, there are a total of 436 farms that offer their visitors an enjoyable time out on a farm in Carinthia. The wide range of offers extends from equestrian farms to herbal farms and vitality farms.

Trend: Organic farm

Many people have become aware of the importance of healthy eating in recent years. Organic farms are therefore very popular. Visitors are interested in finding out how our food is made; what the work processes behind it look like; perhaps even getting hands-on and watching how the products are made - and listening to the farmers' stories in the meantime. Immersing yourself in a previously unknown world means gaining rich experiences for young and old.

Children in particular can have unforgettable experiences on a farm. Just being able to leave the house and move around to their heart's content. Or holding a chick for the first time in their lives or feeling a calf's tongue on their hand.

Lots of space and freedom

Boredom is a thing of the past. What's more, the farms and alpine huts are nestled in a landscape that is ideal for sporting activities at any time of year. In the warmer months, water sports enthusiasts, hikers and cyclists get their money's worth; in winter, activities such as skiing, ice skating and long walks are in season.

In addition to these leisure activities, guests can lie back in a deckchair and let their gaze wander over the magnificent landscape. Lean back and enjoy, simply take some time out on a farm in Carinthia. The lasting relaxation factor then comes (almost) by itself.
