The small traditional City of Spittal is often referred to as "Spittal am Millstätter See", due to its proximity to the lake and lies at the confluence of the Lieser and Drau rivers.
It is easily accessible by road from all European countries and is served well by many of the major airlines. Both Klagenfurt and Ljubjana Airport can be reached in under 1 hour with Salzburg & Graz taking no more than 2 hours.
