Kanaren is a little town located in Carinthia, Austria, about 212 km (132 mi) southwest of Vienna, the country’s capital. Quiet, and surrounded by lush fields and impressive mountains, it is an ideal retreat from the hustle and bustle of modern cities. Despite its relative obscurity, Kanaren, and the Carinthia region in general, are steeped in history. The Carinthian Plebiscite was a monumental event in the region, resulting in the formation of the border that separates Austria from Slovenia. October 10 was henceforth declared a public holiday in the region. You will also have the chance to visit historical attractions like Ravne Castle, located about 19 km (12 mi) away on the Slovenian side of Carinthia. Also, being close to mountains naturally translates to opportunities to hike and ski.
