Vogelpark Turnersee1 km · 13 min on footThe Vogelpark Turnersee (bird park) is, so to speak, our neighbour: only about a kilometre from the house, it is an easy walk away.Discount with Aktiv Card
The Vogelpark Turnersee (bird park) is, so to speak, our neighbour: only about a kilometre from the house, it is an easy walk away. What began in 1982 as a passion and a hobby is today a lovingly kept, entirely privately run animal park. Among old trees live native and exotic birds from all over the world – from colourful parrots and parakeets to pheasants and waterfowl. You can get feed at the entrance, so children in particular can get really close to many of the animals.
Since 1998 there has also been a petting zoo, as well as a children’s playground and a small café with a shop. The park is laid out on level ground and well suited to pushchairs; dogs on a lead are welcome. Ideal for a leisurely morning or as something to do on a cloudy afternoon – and afterwards you are back at the Turnersee in a few minutes.
From approx. early May; May–September daily 9:00–18:00

Reptilienzoo Happ39 km · 36 min by carSnakes, crocodiles, monitor lizards and tarantulas – the Reptilienzoo Happ (reptile zoo) in Klagenfurt is said to have more species than any other reptile zoo in Austria.Free with Kärnten Card
Snakes, crocodiles, monitor lizards and tarantulas – the Reptilienzoo Happ (reptile zoo) in Klagenfurt is said to have more species than any other reptile zoo in Austria. Around 1,000 animals live on about 4,000 m², including some 60 species of snake, numerous species of tortoise, turtle and lizard, and an insectarium. In the outdoor area you can see native snakes in near-natural enclosures, a Wörthersee aquarium shows the fish on the doorstep, and life-size prehistoric reptiles stand in the dinosaur garden.
Particularly exciting for children are the public feedings of piranhas and crocodiles, which traditionally take place on Saturday afternoons. As large parts are under cover, the zoo is a good destination for a changeable day – and together with Minimundus next door it makes a perfect Klagenfurt day. After almost 40 years under Helga Happ, new management is taking over, so it is worth checking the opening times before you go.

Waldseilpark Pyramidenkogel53 km · 52 min by carOn the wooded slope of the Pyramidenkogel, just below the observation tower, you climb through the treetops at the Waldseilpark Pyramidenkogel (forest ropes course).Free with Kärnten Card
On the wooded slope of the Pyramidenkogel, just below the observation tower, you climb through the treetops at the Waldseilpark Pyramidenkogel (forest ropes course). Five courses with around 40 challenges lead over rope bridges, beams and nets from tree to tree, and to finish you fly over the forest on the flying fox. Safety is provided by a continuous safety-line system that you cannot accidentally unhook from – that is why there is no age limit, only a minimum height of 1.20 m.
After a briefing by the team you will usually be out for two to three hours. Wear sturdy shoes and comfortable clothes that can get dirty, and tie back long hair. The park only opens in dry weather. A visit combines well with a trip up the Aussichtsturm Pyramidenkogel and a snack at the Buschenschank Buchsbaum, whose owners also run the ropes course.

At the top there is summer tubing on a slide with rubber rings, a bungee trampoline for four children at once, a dino bouncy castle and a large wooden marble run; for young cyclists there is also a Kids Bike Park.
It is a good half-day outing with children from about four years old, ideally combined with a short family hike or a stop for food on the Kanzelhöhe. Bring a jacket – it is noticeably cooler up there than by the lake. Tubing and trampoline only run in the main season and in suitable weather; the gondola itself runs for longer.

Here children and adults slide down the summer tubing run in a rubber ring, bounce in a harness on the four-station bungee trampoline and try the wooden marble run, the dino bouncy castle, mini golf, the kids’ bike park and the little electric slope racers. You ride up from the valley station in Annenheim on the Kanzelbahn; tickets for tubing and trampoline are sold at the ticket office on the Kanzelhöhe.
The drive takes about an hour and a half, so it’s worth making a whole day of it: the attractions in the morning, then a hike or the onward ride towards the summit with a view over the lakes. For teenagers there’s also a forest high-ropes course and a 3D archery course. In rain and thunderstorms the tubing and trampoline are closed. Bring sun protection and a jacket.

At 1,875 m above sea level in the Nockberge, right by the small Falkertsee, the Heidi-Alm children’s adventure park tells the story of Heidi, Peter and the Alm-Öhi (Grandfather).

Marmots, goats, ponies and cows are part of it too.
The drive up the mountain road from Patergassen is long, so plan a whole day and combine the visit with a walk around the Falkertsee or an easy alpine hike in the biosphere park.

On the Tressdorfer Alm, by the middle station of the Millennium-Express on the Sonnenalpe Nassfeld, Sölle Sport runs the Outdoorpark Nassfeld. In the Felsenlabyrinth (rock labyrinth), children from five and adults climb on belay over boulders, rope bridges and high-ropes elements; there is also a flying fox and a small via ferrata. Across the 14 courses the difficulty increases step by step, so beginners and experienced climbers alike will find something. Right next door is a 3D archery course through the forest.
The easiest way up is the Millennium-Express from Tröpolach in the Gailtal valley, followed by a short walk from the middle station to the entrance; from the Nassfeld pass it is about 25 minutes on foot along a flat path. Because of the long journey, plan a whole day out, which combines well with a walk across the alpine pastures. Wear sturdy shoes and bring something warm, as at around 1,300 m above sea level it is often cooler than in the valley.

Nice and relaxed, with no need to look for parking: in summer the colourful Bummelzug (tourist train) is as much a part of the Klopeiner See as ice cream is of the promenade.
