Where to go with toddlers and teenagers in Carinthia?

For many Carinthia fans, Lake Ossiach is the only place to spend a perfect family holiday or a perfect family day. On one side, the lake calls - on the other side, the mountain. The Gerlitzen with its 1,900 meters of altitude, ski lifts and hiking trails offers a wonderful contrast to the diverse lake activities in the valley. On the other side of the lake - more precisely in Ossiach - you will find a very special family excursion destination for the whole family : the Ossiacher See Family Forest and the Ossiacher See Climbing Forest .

Here, young people enjoy taking part in family outings

It is often not easy to get the whole family together. The toddler wants to play, the child wants to discover something and the teenagers? Lay on the beach? Play games? Or maybe an exciting outdoor activity . The Ossiacher See family forest is the first port of call when looking for the perfect activity for all family members. With 8 different stations on over 30,000 m², there is something for everyone. The natural leisure park in the forest impresses with

• Panoramic terraces

• the first TREENETS adventure in Central Europe

Of course, we will also tell you what the individual excursion highlights can do and which age groups they are suitable for.

Truly unique: the TREENETS adventure

Simply stand in the treetops and slide from treetop to treetop . What sounds like a scene from the Jungle Book can be experienced by young and old at the TREENETS adventure in the Family Forest in Carinthia. With four different slides directly in the treetops, which are connected with nets, the adventure in the trees is great fun. The shared adventure is unique in Central Europe and an entertaining pleasure - even for older children .

Here teenagers find cool action

The next stations are where things really get going. The Ossiacher See climbing forest is located in the same area as the Familywald and is a great challenge, especially for young people and adults. The excitement of the heights meets a stunning view of the lake. There are four difficulty levels and more than 150 exercises through the trees. As one of the largest of its kind in Austria, this climbing park promises lots of action and lots of fun.

The first forest roller coaster , the "Fly-Line", is just as exciting and much faster. Here you fly through the beech forest, over a ravine and between the trees. The wild ride can also be done in pairs , so children from the age of two can take part in this experience.

Petting zoo and face painting – ingredients for a perfect trip for children

During peak times in the Family Forest ( please see the website ), the program is expanded to include special activities . Face painting and a magician provide an experience for toddlers and children that they will talk about for a long time. A visit to the petting zoo will melt hearts - and not just those of children. At the sight of the cute baby llamas and dwarf goats, even the greatest adventurers will become little admirers of nature again.

The finest view and relaxation for all

If you still can't bear to leave the Ossiacher See Family Park after hours of action and great entertainment, you should climb the treetop path . Thanks to the spectacular platforms and suspension bridges that lead from one tree to the next, you can experience a very special walk . With the play stations and tree houses in the treetops, all age groups will find fun and entertainment up here too.

A sun terrace invites those who prefer to enjoy the incredible view of the Carinthian mountain and lake panorama with solid ground under their feet. This is also the perfect place to end a special family day at Lake Ossiach .
