View of Hermagor

Beautiful view towards Hermagor.

From this small hill you have a very good view of the Gailtal valley towards Hermagor and the Pressegersee.

This is the view of Lake Presseggersee.
The lake lies in a glacially formed basin, a tributary of the Gailtal Valley. It represents the remnant of a much larger post-glacial lake, which was reduced in size by silting and alluvial cones. North of the lake lie the limestone chains of the Spitzegel range. To the southwest are the phyllite ridges of Guggenberg-Egg, composed of crystalline slate.
The lake has a surface area of 55 hectares, making it the ninth-largest lake in Carinthia. It has a semicircular shape, with a sparsely differentiated shoreline. The underwater slopes to the west, north, and east slope gently downwards, while they are steeper in the south. The lake floor is flat, with several small spring funnels sunk into it. The average depth of Lake Pressegger See is 3.4 m. Only one-seventh of the lake is deeper than 6 m. In the area of the springs, the lake reaches a depth of 13 m.
