Carinthia Halal Travel Guide

Carinthia is possibly the most autonomous state in Austria (with the feasible exception of Tyrol). Older than Austria itself, it has always been fairly isolated from its surroundings by its geography. Carinthians are rooted and proud, but also have a reputation for being more warm-hearted than other Austrians.

There are several explanations of where the name Carinthia comes from. For example, it is said to be derived from the Celtic word carant, which means friend. Other explanations assume that the name comes from the Celtic word karanto, which means stone.

Cartinthia is a very mountainous area sandwiched by the Alps in the north, and the Karawanken in the south. It shares a border with both Italy and Slovenia.

Carinthia was home to the infamous right-wing populist Jörg Haider and for a long time his political vehicles had their biggest successes there.

More Muslim friendly Destinations from Carinthia

• The Soca / Isonzo valley in Slovenia is about an hour's trip from Klagefurt and Villach over the Predil mountain pass. Its deep limestone gorges offer a spectacular scenery and its emerald-coloured rivers are famed for some of the best kayaking and white whater rafting in Europe. Since the Soca valley is actually easier to reach from Villach and Klagenfurt than Ljubliana (Slovenia's capital) it's well worth a day trip if you're hanging around Carinthia for longer. Head for the town Bovec and the touristic centre of the Soca valley.
• If you are in Villach take a trip to Tarvisio in Italy (it is about 30min by car) which is a popular place to eat and shop for Carinthians.
• East Tyrol and the province neighbouring Carinthia to the West, is an alpinist's paradise. The capital Lienz can be conveniently be reached by train or car.
