!!!Klagenfurter Becken

Klagenfurt Basin, the largest trough of the Eastern Alps lying between 
the Gurktal Alps and the Karawanken range, (the basin has an average 
depth of 450 m and is 75 km long and 20-30 km wide); it 
is a hilly region with areas covered in boulders ( Krappfeld Plain and 
 Zollfeld Plain), but especially fertile in the east (grain and fruit 
growing). In the Ice Age, the Drau glacier formed the basins of Lake 
Woerthersee, Lake Ossiacher See and the Rosental Valley. Climate: dry 
and hot summers, very cold winters because of temperature inversion (  
Inversion), tourist centre.
