Central Carinthia is the historical, cultural and culinary center of Carinthia. Romans and Celts chose the center of Carinthia as an important settlement site for their empire. The culinary drivers are passionate people who refine the landscape into a tasty experience. The center of good taste grows from the intact nature, the formative history and the culinary finesse that are at home here. We see it as our task to convey this cultural and natural diversity to tourists and at the same time to preserve it.

The center of good taste is the result of unique ingredients. A fertile, diverse landscape with talented people who make the most of their resources and pass on their products to refiners and producers who turn them into extraordinary delicacies: these are just a few of the ingredients of Central Carinthia's special success.

Coupled with rolling hills, picturesque towns and villages, art and sacred buildings steeped in history, Central Carinthia is truly a good place for connoisseurs and gourmets. The experience is rounded off by excellent wines from the region. In Central Carinthia, even the most discerning palate will be satisfied. In addition, each of the Central Carinthian valleys offers its own regional culinary specialties: Game specialties in Metnitztal, air-cured bacon in Gurktal, plus a glass of wine from the area around St. Georgen am Längsee, Carinthia's largest wine-growing community.

Tourismusregion Mittelkärnten GmbH aims to contribute to the sustainable development of the region through its activities.

The mission statement of the Tourismusregion Mittelkärnten GmbH is based on the following themes:

1. culinary delights

These form the basis for the mission statement of the Central Carinthia region, which has also been used in the inspiration folder, as part of the Slow Food Travel program, in press releases and on merchandise articles.

It was therefore a matter of course for the Tourismusregion Mittelkärnten GmbH to take the next step and become certified as a licensee for Green Meetings & Green Events.
