Boat rentals: glide across Lake Wörthersee
A boat-rental station at the lakeshore lets you get on the water quickly. For the best experience, check conditions before you go, wear appropriate sun protection, and follow safety guidance on-site. Early mornings and late afternoons are often calmer and can offer gentler light and fewer crowds.
Beach volleyball: play by the lake
The public beach-volleyball court near the lakeshore is perfect for a casual game. Bring your own ball, choose cooler times of day, and keep hydrated. If you’re visiting with friends or family, set up simple, rotating teams to keep the energy high and breaks short.
Europapark: green space at your doorstep
With Europapark next to the hotel, you can pair time on the water with shaded paths and open lawns. It’s an easy add-on to any lakeside outing—ideal for a cool-down stroll before you return to the hotel’s sun terrace and shaded garden.
