Introducing Millstatt
The genteel lakeside village of Millstatt lies 10km east of Spittal an der Drau on the northern shore. It got its name from Emperor Domition, an early Christian convert who tossed mille statuae (1000 heathen statues) into the lake. A gaunt and crazed-looking sculpture of the emperor stands in the lake, portrayed in the act of consigning a Venus to a watery grave.

The town has three main parallel streets: the B98 (Kaiser-Franz-Joseph-Strasse) and square Georgsritterplatz, Marktplatz north (uphill) from this, and the beach road on the lake. Stiftgasse/Seemühlgasse, near Full House, connects all three.
The tourist office (20 23; www.millstaettersee.com; Marktplatz 8) inside the Rathaus can help with information on the town.
