Portschach am Worther See

The landscape around Pörtschach am Wörther See is a long lake basin edged by wooded slopes, which has shaped both the town’s lakeside layout and tourism economy. Set on Lake Wörthersee’s northern shore, Pörtschach developed as a summer resort, with promenades, bathing areas and passenger-boat stops keeping the waterfront at the centre of local life. Composer Johannes Brahms spent several summers here in the late 1870s and worked on his Violin Concerto during his stay. South of the lake, the Pyramidenkogel observation tower stands above the surrounding Carinthian hills. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Carinthia and Lake Wörthersee.
