Autumn Getaway & Indian Summer in Austria

Bad Kleinkirchheim region

Family time in Carinthian autumn: Colorful – Mystical – Full of experiences

When autumn arrives in Carinthia, a warm light settles over the Nockberge mountains. The larches turn golden yellow and the scent of stone pine fills the air.

It’s the time when everything slows down a bit and you feel how good it is to simply be outdoors.

The autumn getaway in St. Oswald is perfect for shared family moments.

The fog drifts through the valleys, dissipates and reveals sunny peaks and vast alpine pastures.

The warming sunbeams invite you to explore the Indian Summer in Carinthia with hikes and small discovery tours.

What’s rustling in the leaves?

There’s a lot to discover in the autumn forest around Kirchleitn…

Colorfully tinted leaves, mossy forest floors and the animals of the biosphere park. With a little patience, families can observe deer, marmots, squirrels, or birds in the wild.

And the best part: The family dog can also enthusiastically join in the mountain holiday.

Up high with the Brunnach cable car: Experience Indian Summer in Carinthia

Exploring together with views of the Nockberge mountains

The valley station of the Biosphärenparkbahn Brunnach cable car is within walking distance of the Slow Travel Resort Kirchleitn.

In just a few minutes, you float up to the Nockberge mountains by gondola, where the Indian Summer becomes particularly impressive.

Whether with a stroller or a baby carrier, well-maintained paths await at the top, which are also suitable for families with small children.

On the Brunnach, you experience the colors of autumn up close. And the golden larches and wide views make every hike a special experience.

Autumn activities for children in Bad Kleinkirchheim

Experience play, water and nature in the Brunnach Activity Park

Another highlight for families awaits at the top of the Brunnach: the Activity Park.

Particularly popular is the raft, with which children pull themselves across the small lake using a rope. There’s a lot of laughter and cheering until everyone has had a turn.

The water labyrinth also provides fun. Water suddenly sprays in all directions from the nozzles, and if you’re quick enough, you might even stay dry.

Next door, there are swings and balancing stations for letting off steam. Meanwhile, parents can relax on the seats and enjoy the view of the colorful autumn Nockberge mountains.

Kaiserburg Experience in Bad Kleinkirchheim

Gondola ride, Kaiserburg Bob, bike trail and children’s obstacle course

Another excursion destination in Bad Kleinkirchheim is the Kaiserburg, which is particularly worthwhile in autumn.

The Kaiserburgbahn comfortably takes you up the mountain, where hiking trails, panoramic views and fresh mountain air await.

In the valley, the Kaiserburg Bob provides fun and activity. The track with its many curves is particularly popular with children and makes riders, big and small, cheer as they descend into the valley.

Those who prefer to cycle will find varied routes on the Flow Country Trail through the colorful forests of the Nockberge mountains.

Right next to the valley station, children can take their first bike rides on the practice course and playfully practice their balance.
