Museums
- The Kranzelbinder family established the alpin-art-gallery, a mountain crystal and gem museum, only a brief walk from the Hochschober. It’s nice to look at and has many great souvenir ideas.
- The small Montanmuseum in Turrach tells stories of the region’s mining tradition.
- Works by artists from around the world are displayed in the Museum of Modern Art in Klagenfurt.
- An extraordinary attraction: Günther Domenig’s stone house in Steindorf at the Ossiacher See.
Cities and places
- Feldkirchen and Spittal an der Drau are popular shopping destinations.
- Sights in Tamsweg in the Lungau (Salzburg) include the late Gothic pilgrimage church St. Leonhard and the beautiful old townhouses.
