Our lake tales the blog

Tales and moments, mysticism and magic

History or stories? Dream or reality? The boundaries between reality and fiction blur almost imperceptibly. The cuckoo murmurs, the pine whispers, the little brook gurgles. And they all tell stories of their experiences and fantasies. Around the Wolfsgrubner Lake.

Uferblicke – a new way of seeing Lake Costalovara

Morning light rests gently on the water, the forest breathes quietly, and along the lakeshore a hidden world appears – one you only notice when you truly look.

With Uferblicke, we’ve created an experience that doesn’t explain nature, but lets you feel it. A soft invitation to curiosity, calm, and wonder. Together with Seeglück Hotel Forelle at Lake Millstatt, we open a window into what moves silently between roots, water and wind.
Uferblicke is a walk, a game, a moment of awareness. It is nature, discovery and lightness – the same sense of peace our guests find in the SeaSpa, our wellness space by the water.

Uferblicke: what this project means

Uferblicke reveals what often remains hidden. Around Lake Costalovara and Lake Millstatt lies an ecosystem full of quiet stories:
fish drifting through aquatic plants, amphibians resting in shallow water, dragonflies dancing over the reeds.
In the Weihrerhof garden you’ll find information panels that bring these small wonders to life. Each panel highlights a detail of nature that is often overlooked, giving depth back to the gaze.
The project grew from our desire to bring our nature hotel even closer to the landscape surrounding it.
It’s an invitation to experience gently, to respect the rhythms of the place – by the lake, in the garden or in the SeaSpa, where wellness meets nature in the simplest way.

A shoreline full of life: nature waiting to be discovered

Anyone walking slowly along the lake feels immediately how alive this place is.
Between reeds and water surface lies a delicate world made of subtle colours, tiny movements and silent presences.
To make this discovery more intuitive, the gardens of both hotels now feature panels about fish, insects, amphibians and local plants.
They are windows into an ecosystem that has been renewing itself for decades – free, sensitive and surprisingly rich.
And after the walk?
A moment in our lakeside sauna or the gentle warmth of the SeaSpa brings the calm of the water into the body.
Nature soothes from the inside as well.

How well do you know the lake?

Here’s how the experience works:
1. Find an information panel – while strolling through the garden.
2. Scan the QR code – to discover fascinating facts and stories.
3. Answer the quiz question – simple, playful and surprising.
4. Hand in your contest card – available in your room or at reception.
You’ll take home new knowledge, maybe a small prize… but definitely a deeper sensitivity for the world of the lake.
Sometimes, one detail is enough to change the way you see a landscape.

Why ETSM2030 strengthens us

The European initiative ETSM2030 supports tourism businesses that choose a responsible, forward-looking path.
The recognition we received for Uferblicke confirms the direction we are taking:
sustainability emerges from many small choices, grows quietly and reaches beyond the lake’s edge.
For us, ETSM2030 means exchange, inspiration and collaboration. It connects us with others who want to make travel more responsible.
And it’s encouraging to know that Uferblicke is part of this movement.
