The Maria Loretto Peninsula in the eastern bay of Klagenfurt is one of the most beautiful and popular excursion destinations at Lake Wörthersee. The idyllic peninsula combines nature, relaxation, culture, and culinary delights in a unique atmosphere. Surrounded by the turquoise-blue waters of Lake Wörthersee, the peninsula offers impressive views, romantic walking paths, and numerous opportunities to unwind.
Particularly well-known is the historic Castle Maria Loretto, built in 1652 as a pleasure palace in Italian style and now serves as a popular event and wedding venue. Right next to it is the small Maria Loretto Chapel, a replica of the famous pilgrimage chapel of Loreto in Italy.
Nature lovers will also find something to enjoy: the adjacent Lendspitz Nature Reserve invites for tranquil walks and to enjoy the untouched landscape.
The offering is complemented by the Maria Loretto Beach Bath as well as the Maria Loretto Restaurant with lakeside terrace and views of Lake Wörthersee. The peninsula is considered one of the most romantic places in Carinthia and is very popular with both locals and visitors from around the world.
