Angeln im Längsee

St. Georgen am Längsee, Carinthia

The approximately 75 ha Längsee is located in the charming landscape of Central Carinthia, in the middle of a nature reserve. The natural shores, with large water lily and reed belts, where many rare bird species still have their nesting sites, make fishing in the Längsee a special nature experience at 550m above sea level. The lake has a maximum depth of approximately 21 meters and a shoreline length of over 3.8 km. East of the Längsee lies Stift St. Georgen, a subsidiary of the Diocese of Gurk, which houses an educational center and a hotel. South of the lake lies the picturesque Hochosterwitz Castle. The excellent bathing water quality with weak flow allows water temperatures to rise up to 27°C. Carp can be fished year-round. Boats can be stored at Schlossbad at your own risk for the period from May to October, provided there is a free space and written permission has been granted.
