Description
A relaxing Sunday afternoon in Pörtschach, a lakeside town on Lake Wörth in Carinthia. Once a small fishing village, in 1800s it became a favorite holiday destination among Austrian aristocracy like the emperor Franz Josef I. Summer months in Pörtschach were very productive for the German composer Brahms too, who wrote many works here.
The lake’s shore is still dotted with beautiful villas in the Wörthersee style, a mix of Art Nouveau, German romanticism and Baroque, typical of the Wörthersee Architektur.
