A small, inconspicuous beam of light makes its way into the cosy apartment. I slowly draw back the curtain – wow.
nawu and the forest is like vanilla ice cream and raspberries – true love.
Do not be afraid! No, nothing religious to follow.

Holiday enjoyment across the borders
Holiday enjoyment across the borders
At nawu apartments, we are very fortunate to be at the very southern point of Austria – and thus in the border triangle. Both Slovenia and Italy are within reach – really! And believe us, that really extends your trip and adventure radius many times over!
There is so much to experience in Friuli alone – which is very close by (you can almost see it from our sun terrace)! A gondola ride up Monte Lussari, for example. A day trip to the sea if you like – a day trip to Venice, even! The incredible turquoise-green lake of Laghi di Fusine, just across the Italian border with its leisurely circular hiking trail. In winter, fantastic cross-country ski runs in the Saisera Valley appeal, with an impressive view of the Julian Alps. Ski touring routes and more – and even more still! Northern Italy is a leisure paradise, and it’s really very close.
And we have a lot of great tips for trips in Slovenia too. Ljubljana, of course, with its pretty old town and zoo, is really worth a visit. On the way is Bled, famous for its lake and cream cakes. Athletes train for competitions in both summer and winter at the Nordic Training Centre in Planica, near Kranjska Gora. And if you love waterfalls, you have to go to Slovenia! Whether you visit Pericnik, Virije or Boka Slap (Slovenian for waterfall), each one is very different and they are all very much worth seeing. Definitely recommended!
Amazing trips for big and small
This is just a small list – the options in the Nassfeld-Hermagor-Presseggersee natural landscape and in all of Carinthia are so varied that you’re sure to find the right experience and adventure for you!

Cycling – from leisurely to sporty
Cycling – from leisurely to sporty
Mountains, pastures, the wide, spacious Gailtal Valley and its lakes – a great combination that will make every active cyclist happy.
But what makes the Gailtal Valley very special is the well-constructed and romantic bike path that meanders through the valley and along the river, stopping at natural sites now and again – whether you’re travelling as a couple or with children, it’s without a doubt a special highlight.
The beauty of mountain biking in the Gailtal Valley is the rare opportunity to bike away from the crowds, getting on your bike right at nawu apartments and exploring untouched landscapes. Opposite Nassfeld, there are sporty single trails, well-signposted and well-constructed mountain bike trails, lifts to transport the bike, downhill trails, a mountain bike school, specialist workshops and bike shops. Professional guided tours and insider tour tips are part and parcel, of course.

Bathing fun in crystal-clear lakes
The countless Carinthian bathing lakes of drinking water quality offer the best bathing enjoyment. Refreshing activities like swimming, paddling, rafting and rowing lie in store for you.

Probably the most famous Carinthian lake – Lake Wörthersee – with its hotspot of Velden invites you to swim, shop and enjoy. A boat trip on an electric boat or a Lake Wörthersee boat trip – simply wonderful.
Summit joy for mountain beginners and alpine professionals
It’s all here. The untouched mountain pastures, with huts that couldn’t be more rustic, and deserted paths in the border area of Carinthia and Friuli/Venezia Giulia. You’ll be impressed by the opportunities to roam around in nature far away from civilisation. There’s so much to do: from perfectly-made hiking trails to family-friendly walking trails – entertaining with playgrounds – classic via ferratas, sport via ferratas of all levels of difficulty and breathtaking ravines and gorges.
Good thing you’re holidaying with nawu. You can get valuable insider tips from us.
Winter hiking, with and without snowshoes
Walk around in the quiet snow. Immerse yourself in the winter forest, follow animal tracks and listen – what is the wind saying? Pause – linger a while. Take a deep breath. Breathe in this good, fresh air – this is how you recharge your batteries.
We groom winter hiking and walking trails that start at nawu. Or you can go your own way. Immerse yourself in this white winter wonderland right from nawu. Or sit perched high in the Alps on the snowy summit. It’s your winter – your nawu winter. You can get good tips right from us. Snowshoe rentals are available locally.
Ice skating – Skating
Lake Weissensee: ‘the biggest natural ice surface in Europe’ – is just around the corner! The Ice Master, a legend. It has already been used as an ice surface for James Bond films. A true master of its trade. And we benefit from this skill. Marathon-length lanes are drawn into the lake. It is not uncommon for ice to form. Transparent ice, with even more crystal clear water below. A natural spectacle par excellence – nawu through and through!
In addition to the ice rinks, there are also groomed walking paths. Horse-drawn sleighs are even out on the ice surface, which is one metre thick.
There are also wonderful tracks for this fairytale winter fun on the nearby Lake Pressegger See. Ice skate rental available on site. Mulled wine too, usually.
Tobogganing and sledging
A truly wonderful winter activity. There’s a snow-covered toboggan slope right at nawu. The winter hiking trails from nawu’s doorstep often allow you to explore the area. You can ride bobsleighs on the surrounding slopes as they are made for deep snow. There are a number of groomed toboggan runs in our winter paradise.
If you don’t have your own fun mode of transport with you, there are rental points on site. We also have a varied range of sleds, bobs and slides for our guests at nawu apartments.
