The real fishing paradise in Carinthia.
It is one of the loveliest and most fascinating valleys
in Austria: the valley of the river Gail, rich in trout, which is one
of the best for fly-fishing enthusiasts.
The crystal-clear waters of the Gail, of the Valentin and Mühl
streams (quality 1A) and of the artificial lake (Stausee) are home to
a rich natural fish heritage, comprising brown trout, rainbow trout,
grayling and char.
The course of the Gail, the gorge of the Valentin, wild and romantic,
the Wiesenbach, or the ''stream that flows through the meadows",
the blue-green waters of the Alpine lakes ... A real paradise, even
for the most demanding angler!

Fly-fishing course - Preparing the fly,
In the fishing school adjoining the hotel, beginners are initiated to
the "supreme art" of fly-fishing and the preparation of flies.
And, in the evening, after a days adventures, among fishing rods
and walks,
it is pleasant to meet and talk about fish, bait, rods and hooks on the
terrace near your hotel room
or in the fishing cabin, on the banks of the Grünsee.

33 km of unique waters for fly-fishing!
You begin from the wild and unspoilt gorge of the Gail.
As far as the eye can see, there is no sign of civilization; everything
has remained just as God created it: deep passages, narrow rocky parts,
overhanging rocks, fantastic barriers of logs suddenly barring the course
of the swift-flowing waters of the river, streams and torrents. Then suddenly,
as it enters the Lesachtal, the valley opens up and the waters flow more
placidly: between gentle loops, inviting gravel beaches, grassy banks,
the Gail winds its way, like a silver ribbon, through the plain that bears
its name: the Gailtal. And this is where the real pleasure of fishing
begins. Easily accessible from all sides, these excellent fishing waters
offer the possibility of quick sighing expeditions, even several times
a day: the grayling are waiting for you!

The Valentin
The Valentin and its tributaries form another maze of
waters. One of these, the 'Angerbach, springs from a source at an altitude
of 1500 metres and, after having passed through vast Alpine pastures and
woods, it flows into the rich waters of the Grünsee, of an incomparable
dark green colour. The legendary "Angerbach trout", which lives
in the ravines of the stream, is now ... aan open secret!
Its characteristics? An unusual variety of colours and a tendency to be
difficult to "outwit".
The romantic Valentinsee, of an incredible turquoise-green
colour, and the spectacular waterfall, more than 30 metres high, seem
to have stepped right out of a fairytale. Pale grayling and large trout
of many different species swim in the green waters that flow into the
lake. The Valentin gorge - or Valentinklamm - cannot fail to charm you
with its wild natural beauty. Here, an angling contest is transformed
into a real "adventure", much more akin to canyoning, with all
its dangers and treacherous spots, where you are not advised to venture
alone: our guides, all of whom are skilled anglers, are at your disposal.
