Weissensee is best known within Carinthia for Lake Weissensee, a long alpine lake at about 930 metres above sea level. The settlement extends around its northern shore, surrounded by wooded mountains and far removed from the larger urban centres of the province. Summer brings swimming, boating and walks along the water, while reliable winter ice supports skating and cross-country skiing when conditions permit. The Dutch Alternative Elfstedentocht has brought long-distance speed skaters to the lake for decades, giving this small Carinthian resort an international winter-sport connection.
