Krumpendorf Attractions

The spa of Krumpendorf (474m/1,555ft; pop. 2,300), on the shore of the lake and surrounded by parks and gardens, has more of a village atmosphere. In 1986 Krumpendorf was chosen as the best-kept and the most environmentally caring village. There are plenty of facilities for water sports and it is also a good base from which to visit places of cultural interest in Carinthia. Every two years in summer the fire brigade bands meet here and the brigades also hold rallies here every three or five years. Places to visit in the region around Krumpendorf include Schloss Drasing with its large keep (1,570m/5,153ft), Schloss Hallegg (16th C.) with arcades and sgraffito paintings, and Burg Ratzenegg (14th C.).
