Wörthersee (Slovene: ''Vrbsko jezero'', (英語:Lake Wörth)〔Likens, Gene E. 1975. Primary Productivity of Inland Aquatic Ecosystems. In: Helmut Lieth & Robert H.

London: Chapman and Hall, p. 195.〕) is an alpine lake in the southern Austrian state of Carinthia. ==General facts== The lake is elongated, about 20 km long and 1–2 km wide. It stretches from the Carinthian capital Klagenfurt in the east to Velden in the west. It is flanked to the north and south by steep alpine foothills covered with dense forests, beyond which snow-capped alpine peaks are visible. The lake's water is a distinctive blue-green colour and transparent. In the early nineteenth century the marshy shores were home only to a handful of poor peasants. The construction of the Austrian Southern Railway (Südbahn), in the middle of the nineteenth century quickly turned the Wörthersee into an exclusive summer retreat for Vienna's nobility. The northern shore is densely built-up. The motorway and railway mainline occupy the narrow space between the steep hills and the shore. Main towns are Krumpendorf, Pörtschach and Velden. The southern shore is quieter and less developed. In winter, the region is often covered by snow and approximately every 10 years the lake freezes over, attracting numerous ice skaters. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wörthersee」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
