As idyllic as Carinthia's largest lake appears to the viewer from the slight hill, allowing one to enjoy the scenery, its origins are linked to a legend – one with a fatal outcome for the people of that time. A wealthy town is said to have once stood on the site of today's lake, but its inhabitants probably enjoyed a rather dissolute life. According to the story, the Wörthersee Mandl appeared to the wildly revelers – one version of the story places the event on Christmas Eve – as a warning. But since they refused to convert, the Wörthersee Mandl opened a small barrel he had brought with him, from which endless, unstoppable masses of water flowed – creating today's Wörthersee and swallowing the then town.
