Carinthia, Federal state in southern Austria.
Carinthia extends across 9,364 square kilometers of Alpine terrain, featuring mountain ranges, valleys, and numerous lakes including Wörther See and Millstätter See.
The territory transformed from a Celtic kingdom into a Roman province in 16 BCE, later becoming the first Imperial State following the German stem duchies in 976.
The Prince's Stone in Carinthia marks the location where medieval rulers received their power through a ceremonial installation ritual conducted in two languages.
The region maintains direct rail connections through Villach junction, while the Katschberg and Tauern tunnels provide essential road access to Salzburg.
The Klagenfurt Basin contains multiple lakes with water temperatures reaching 28°C during summer, making them the warmest Alpine lakes in Europe.
