Carinthia: Description

The southernmost province of the Republic of Austria is Carinthia. Carinthia borders East Tyrol in the west and Salzburg and Styria in the north. Carinthia's neighbours are Italy and Slovenia. The provincial capital is Klagenfurt and another important regional centre is Villach. Carinthia is very suitable both for summer tourism due to its lakes such as Lake Wörthersee and for alpine tourism due to its ski resorts.
