Really liked the the temprary expedition "How wars end". The permanent exhibition was nice but !no English translation! It is as if they don't want foreigners to visit. Additionaly, no Slovenian translation which shows they have no respect for the Slovenian minority at the bilingual zone.

Manages to fit a lot in. Great building and location. The staff are very helpful. Have visited a few times now and each time there has been a different special exhibit alongside the local history. This time was history of beer and it's local relevance. A great amount of information presented in an easy to understand way and even had a full English translation available. Look forward to seeing what's in next spring.

Great staff and great museum 🙏

It was great! Very interesting. The kids 6,9,10 liked it a lot

Very very nice!

Very nice building and exhibits. Friendly and helpfull staff... I loved it.

Fun beer exhibition while we were there

Very beautiful and clean.Nice people.Holidays with mountains and lakes.There are many things to do here.I also recommend camping.

Almost all around the lake are private ugly fences. Really sad to see such a pearl destroyed like that.

great place to stay with kids. not only has the lake an amazing view, the mountains surrounding it provide a great opportunity to go for a hike. additionally, there is a volleyball field and a soccer field, as well as a place to play mini-golf.

Sheer beauty. Nice, quiet at times. End of season hardly a person in sight. Relaxing place.

It was an awesome afternoon cruising the lake. Albeit there was a light rain, the restaurant/bar offered a warm refuge. The best view is from the top deck.

Amazing! Wonderful! A very love that place!

Nice lake

You can't understand the lady who is speaking in English, actually translating the other one. But she's adorable :) the show itself is well handled and you can see they treat those animals with kindness. The negative thing is coffee (really bad) in the restaurant near the entrance,expensive souvenirs (7€ for a magnet) and the parking is way down the road so you have to walk UP HILL for 10min to reach the castle. Overall, great to see in person those magnificent birds of pray. We were amazed.

Breathtaking atmosphere and view.. problem with my visit was that we were a big group with optimized price and therefore the restaurant experience seems to suffer .. the plates were quite plain with good but not exceptional taste and the people were quite harsh - some of the statements even unfriendly.. I guess if it would have been a dinner for two with less monetary restrictions the whole experience would have been mega..

Found this gem while driving from Austria to Italy. We almost got lost after getting off the highway, but once we got our bearings, it was a breeze. Once there, if available, you can park right up to the castle. Otherwise, just walk up the steep hill (15 minutes). The grounds are good enough, but the birds of pray displays and demonstration were a definitely 10/10!. Food around the place was ok, but the people working everywhere were so nice. A must-stop to see!!!

Eagle show it was brilliant....german and english must do. Ideal for families. Food very good.

Nice one day family trip. The bird show is something special, but it is good to know german, because there is not enough english speak. Beware of summer heat, you can get fried up in the arena. It is ynder open sky. No roof or shadow at all. If you are regarding that it's a interesting place with astonishing view.

Parking is 2,5 Euros per day and you can see beautiful old castle and lovely Affenberge. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

The food was delicious at the restaurant and the views were incredible.More than worth it to venture out and go see. The drive just to get to the castle is worth just taking the trip. There ia parking at the very top of the mountain so your only option isn't just at the very bottom. Its worth checking out. If you do decide to park at the bottom. Its quite the journey making it up that steep graded road about 1/2 Km to the top.

Lake Faak as the European Bike Week stage, every year, is simply THE bikers dream of the year. Can't imagine a better place for such a big event. And you can bring family, kids, too. They can chill and play and swim in the lake, while the motorcyclist of the proud family goes around the bikers villages.... Some comments, and why this is not a 5 star review: - in the summer and also during the Bike Week, it gets really hot and there is just too little shade everywhere (also at the lake beaches, too little is taken care for shade) - to the contrary, when it rains, which can happen often in these parts during September, it gets pretty cold and nasty. During bad weather it's muddy, windy, cold etc, again, no real roof protection if you get caught without an umbrella. Then better wait and come on the crowdy weekend if the weather settles then. - if you are looking for an overnight stay in Faak during the Bike Week, don't bother finding hotels or apartments close to the event because the best ones are reserved for years in advance; or you simply won't find anything "normal"; or it will be so ridiculously pricey that it's better sleep in a car or something :):):) - the best of the Bike Week actually happens during the week days, so if you manage, come visit before the crazy crowded weekend. During the week, there is still really a lot of bikers and bikes, but all is more peaceful, you can get better choice and deals in the merchandise and parts booths (on weekends the best things are sold out) and you have a much easier life if you want to check out the new Harleys, or try them out on a test ride. - oh and this is a really small village here, so don't expect infrastructure of bigger towns like big markets, Spar and stuff... There is a small post office, a small pharmacy, and a fuel station... :) The pizzerias are not even open during Bike Week (maybe one....). Everything else are hotels, weekend houses, apartments and the lake. Oh and Harley people, when will miss Karen Davidson come? Since Willy G is not with us anymore, can we see at least miss Davidson more? That would be a real privilege.

The most stupid lake I have ever visited. The lake is beautiful, but impossible to reach without paying for everything. It is surrounded by the smell of tourist economics. You cannot just simply go on foot to the lake and take a look around and make pictures. You have to pay pay pay. I will never ever visit this lake once again.

Beautiful lake but like in any place in Austria it is not easy to get to the shore or beach as they are all privately owned so you need to go in one of the camping and pay for access

ranslate text with your camera A very interesting lake in the Julian Alps, a perfect place to rest and enjoy nature. Ideal for cycling, motorcycling, hiking, long walks and recreation. A large selection of water sports is also available. Very nice for peace and enjoyment, it's worth stopping by, I definitely recommend it warmly...

A beautiful lake in Carinthia Austria, I visited there to harley Davidson motorcycle Rally and could not believe how wonderful the area was, well worth the short ride or hike around the lake.

Very lovely & cozy place ❣️ I recommend if you want to tach to nature.

Amazing view. Boating is available. Lot of restaurants can be found near-by.

We were there in March, it was snow and about 1 degree Celsius, but it was absolutely amazing! I went there with my 50kg dog and ut was beautiful experience

Dobratsch mountain is one of the most beautiful spots you will ever experience! There are multiple routes to hike in the Summer and Winter. There are also various restaurants where you can enjoy Austrian food and drink as well as the spectacular views that Dobratsch has. You can also drive all the way to the top parking spot and hike to the top of the mountain. Depending on your abilities the hike will take about an hour to an hour and a half. If you ever get the chance you should go for a full moon hike on Dobratsch. It is a memory you will cherish for life! The restaurant at the top also sells a very tasty tee & rum - treat yourself after a hike in the Winter!

Wow! What a place! This was my first hiking experience... it is incredible! Stunning views, different paths (hard or soft)... for us the way down turned out to be very hard... but it was all worth it!

Very very nice place to go and visit it. Epecially for climbers.

Place is good,for all!Nice trip for me!Better than ever!

Perfect sledge track from the summit down to Rosstratte parking. Good snow as on NE side of the peak

This Mountain is a - must visit - in austria.

Nice waitress. Quick service. White sausages in clear soup. Bit weird with mustard and pretzel. Kaiser dessert ok. Had nicer before. Would not reorder either. The pig knuckle was amazing. Villacher beer was nice from draft. We paid almost 50eur altogether.

Looking for that authentic Austrian bier keller experience this is it. No pretensions or gimmicks just genuine local brewer's beer and lots of local cuisine. Their own Dunkel (dark brown) brew was to die for, especially as a british real ale aficionado. Both malty and hoppy. As well as the classic bratwurst or 'real' frankfurter with lashings of kartofelen and sauerkraut there were several hearty dishes or very authentic home made soups. Even have a children's menu and there were fmiles enjoying an evening meal.

Lovely restaurant with a nice beer garden. Tasty and well prepared local dishes. Located in the centre of Villach just beside the catholic church St Nicholas. Particular during summer a must visit place 👌

Drove from Ljubljana just to Villacher Brauhof to have a Schnitzel. We were quite disappointed with the meal as it felt quite bland and sides could have been better. Plus the meal was €17.50 and we were expecting more for it.

It was the second but last time I have visited the place. Came here with five more guests. Alltogether we were six person. Noone cared about us, noone welcomed us. The waiters just ignored us. We waited 10 minutes the just sit to a table. Another 10 minutes passed when a waiter came and said more than half of the menu is unavailable. Everyone around us ate from the other half of the menu. We have left immidiately. Horrible experience so to say.

Very good Austrian restaurant. Delicious cuisine - especially cordon bleu. Good beer and lemonade produced by local brewery Villacher, which is located right behind the restaurant. Nice service. Very cozy courtyard, which is located in the shade of the trees at the backyard of the church of St. Nicholas. Great place for lunch after a walk around the city.

If you are near Villach, want something typical Austrian, like to drink good beer: look no further. The staff is fast, food is of a very good quality. Perfect

Nice Japanese restaurant in walking distance from the city center. The menu also includes some Thai and Chinese dishes. Vegan options available. Service was friendly and fast. The food tasted pretty good (especially the sushi) but wasn’t among the best Japanese I have had.

This restaurant has very poor staff service for foreigners. I think they are resisting. I m from itsly for visitinig Villach city.

Very nice people.. good buffet with very good quality and good price… but also nice alla carte food.. it is also possible to take away or request a delivery ( in the area of town- to be requested on the homepage not on a delivery platform)

Authentic asian cuisine, superb food, and really polite staff🍱💯

Surprisingly good buffet for a fair price, there is soup and desert included! Waiters very friendly with genuily smile. Lots of locals coming here. Side note: on their website 33cl coca cola 1.8€, but on the menu more then 3€. Men's toilet was broken. This wasn't disturbing, we definitely come back.

If I could give 6 stars, I would! Amazing!

Sushi rice undercook-grainy like risotto 😅 the fish were smelly quite fishy it didn’t smell fresh & the color of the tuna was brown not dark red thanks but never again, i’ll stay with mr.wu atleast their quality is better

We love Nicoletta ! Their calamari stuffed with spinach are delicious. Although they have mostly pizza and pasta. We didn’t get to try it , as we tried the calamari and failed in love. As some of the members of the family need gluten free, they recommended us to take potatos in Rosmarin. Highly recommended!

One of best cabonara I have ever had. The calamari is xuất sắc as well. Just to let you know I am not a fan of European cuisine so to me this is a very good experience.

Good taste of food (had calamari). The restaurant was full but not crowded and we still got our food very fast. The the waiters are very attentive and friendly but colorful in a special way. You can actual park in front of other near restaurant they are together.

I would put 5 stars for the atmosphere too, but at the next table there were 5 or 6 young girls on some light alcohol who were laughing and talking loud all the time... :)))

The staff and the Interieur is very good. I had an Pizza siciliana and it was very good. I can totolly recommend to visit this Restaurant If you are in Villach or near by.

Real Italian food and vibes. Very nice terras, pasta & pizza 👍🏻

A nice place...it is big restaurant, a very nice terrace, friendly staff. I had a salad of tomate, moussarela which was good. My husband didn't like his joice that much (he found that tasteless. It was just around the corner of our hotel which was very convenient for us. The price was ok

Really nice place to visit! Good food and great atmosphere!

Best place in Austria 🇦🇹 hands down. Best garlic soup 🍲 . Example of 5 people dinner 2 portion of potato 3 soup drinks and 3 main plates 170€ . But you going there for the best soup that all ❤️‍🔥see you next time

We stopped on the way from Slovenia to Germany to eat some good "Schnitzel". The portion sizes were generous, the food was excellent and the service was friendly and fast - despite the place being very busy at the time. For reference, the entire parking lot was maxed out. Almost all tables full. Yet we got served immediately, with attention and the food arrived with only a short wait. The Schnitzel were thin and crispy, with a large side of fries and Ketchup aswell as berry-jam and a slice of lemon. The only improvement suggestion I have is to add pepper/salt shakers to the table. Personally I would've liked a bit more salt on the fries.

Nice place, very convenient location at the edge of town, easy to park. Don’t expect any gourmet food, but the service and the terrace are nice.

Well as a very good restaurant I was quite sad and disappointed to check the receipt at the end in the car 5 min later to see that I got a additional 5,30€ charge for something that we didn't even order. We didn't say anything because we thought that was fine and could have counted as tip because the service and atmosphere and food of course was incredible! Recommended restaurant quite good experience!

Delicious food, my favourite restaurant in Villach. I tried fish and pork, food was fresh and amazing. Chef was a german guy and was very friendly. Waitress are very kind

Above all, the best service! greetings to the whole team of Josef!😀 Delicious food. Perfect after a few hours of trekking in Italy ;) and you can come with your dog. I recommend! I will definitely come back here 😀

Staff are helpful and friendly. Breakfast was ok. Rooms are much smaller than they are shown in photos. I booked a premium room and it was smaller than it was mentioned on their website. Location is good. Room amenities are very limited for the price.

Super awesome dinner and also the desert after the main course. Definitely will come back again. Special thanks for the excellent service with personal recommendations from Chilli.

Nice atmosphere, very good service We were seeking for gluten free choices and found very attentive staff helping us with finding the right choices for us The plates are big, so we were recommended to take 3 plates for family of 4 , and it was indeed more than enough. The food was tasty and original. The pork steak was dry though, I guess slightly overcooked

It took 1 hour to get a soup. And another 40 minutes to get a steak. And the rain started and inside everything was full! We couldn't eat. They asked to wait until the rain will stop. And they said: sorry with a big smile. For us it was a very bad experience.

We enjoyed one dinner at this restaurant on our vacation at Villach. We reserved table beforehand, but they have lost the reservation? Luckily there was a table for us at the street patio as we wanted. Service was friendly not the fastest but acceptable. The food (liver) was served from cold pan, so I have to hurry with eating and in spite of that the rest of food was lukewarm. But it was very tasty.

The schnitzel is cooked until a little too dry. But the garlic soup and tomato soup were a-okay.

Beautiful place in villach city for nice dinner. I never need to reserve for two people as I always planned spontaneously. Not so expensive for dinner with drinks
