Lake Wörth in the south of Austria, almost at the border with Slovenia and Italy, has calm, warm water popular with swimmers. Around the lake, the beautiful, luxuriant flora is a mix of colours and fragrances, like an immense flower park. Standing on a peninsula in the centre of the lake on the southern bank is the small town of Maria Wörth with its medieval architecture: its quiet, idyllic location makes it ideal for country walks.
