Radenthein

Radenthein is a town in the Austrian state of Carinthia, located in the district of Spittal an der Drau, close to Lake Millstatt (Millstätter See). The town lies at the foot of the Millstätter Alpe mountain range, which offers alpine skiing pistes and hiking trails depending on the season. Radenthein has long been shaped by magnesite mining, an industry that played a significant role in the local economy. Set between mountains and lake, the area serves as a convenient base for winter sports enthusiasts as well as those seeking summer activities such as swimming, hiking or cycling around Lake Millstatt, one of Carinthia's most renowned lakes for its clean waters. The alpine climate brings cold, snowy winters well suited to winter sports, along with mild summers ideal for outdoor holidays. The nearby town of Spittal an der Drau provides easy access to shops and services, while Radenthein itself retains the unspoilt mountain character typical of this part of Carinthia.
