Parkbad Dobriach

10 Kellan Voss

This lakeside venue on Lake Millstatersee in Austria is excellent. It offers a variety of water sports facilities and has a cafe serving Italian and Austrian food. There is plenty of natural shade from trees in the open grassed areas, making it a great spot for families with children. The village of Dobriach is just 2 km away and has good restaurants, hotels, and bars. In the winter, skiing slopes are only 12 minutes away by car in Badkleinkirchheim.

The red wine they serve is not chilled enough; it would be great if they could cool it to around 18 degrees.
