Excellent food and excellent regional beer, served by the owner himself, who is also the mayor of Afritz am See. We enjoyed the evening in the idyllic beer garden.

The lake is located in the valley in the Nockberge at an altitude of 752 m above sea level. A. between the Wöllaner Nock and the Mirnock. It is located on the southern edge of the municipality of Feld am See; the municipal border with Afritz partly follows the shoreline. The southeast bank is largely untouched. Millstätter Straße (B 98) runs along the northeast bank. The lake is the remnant of a once larger lake. This was divided by a rockslide from the Mirnock (Lierzberger Alpenspitz – Wieserwald): into the Afritzer See and the Feldsee. The two lakes are separated by a shallow valley watershed. The Afritzsee drains to the southeast towards Treffen. The lake is fed by a few small streams that have created alluvial fans, particularly on the south and west banks. Since the lake lies in a valley valley that is often windy, it does not reach the high water temperatures of other Carinthian lakes. However, it is strictly layered in summer.
