Carinthian Summer
Founded in the 11th century and magnificently decorated in the Baroque period, Ossiach Abbey lies on the shores of Lake Ossiach amidst the romantic mountain world of Carinthia, Austria’s southernmost province. It was here that the Carinthian Summer was founded in 1969, which has since become one of the most prestigious Austrian music festivals. Since 1972 Villach, the Carinthian city with the most Mediterranean character, has been the festival’s “second home”.
