Walking
Millstatt is hard to beat when it comes to walking. The entire lake shore is one long footpath, easily broken into segments by hopping on the boats criss-crossing the lake. With the Nockalm National Park surrounding Millstatt, don't miss the opportunity to venture into the hills. Head up from the town of Döbriach for a walk up to Weissen Felsen for a rewarding view over the lake, and climb higher for a view down to Döbriach from the Orchindeenwand Rock. A wooded path takes you back at lower levels along to Millstatt. If you're looking for more of a challenge, set out from Haus Spieler for a circular route around the Mirnock rock for some wonderful views and you spiral up to 980m.
Strollers
Take the lakeside promenade for a gentle stroll along the lake. There is in fact a path all the way around the lake if you so wish, or perhaps use the local bus service to walk a little further and take the bus back.
Ramblers
Climb up into the surrounding mountains to enjoy over 400km of walking routes, much of it in National Park. If that isn't enough, take the local bus up to the mountain village of Bad Kleinkirchheim for even more walking options, and don't forget your swimsuit so that you can have a relaxing dip in one of their thermal spas after your walk!
Hikers
The Nockalm National Park and the mountains surrounding Millstatt offer a wealth of opportunities for those looking to conquer some challenging routes. Mountain huts abound for refreshment, and many paths offer stunning views over the lake.
