Carinthia is probably Austria's best kept secret: a beautiful province with over 200 splendid lakes that speckle a landscape marked by high peaks and gouged valleys. Perfect slopes and great snow conditions for skiing trips, plus top spa and wellness hotels for summer retreats, make this province an Austrian paradise in any season.
After the defeat of the multi-ethnic Austria-Hungary and the ruling Habsburg dynasty in World War I, new states arose in its former territory. The Carinthian plebiscite was held on 10 October 1920 in the area predominantly settled by Carinthian Slovenes. It determined the final southern border between the Republic of Austria and the newly formed Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (Yugoslavia) after World War I.
