The Keutschacher Seental is located in Carinthia south of the Wörthersee between the ridge of the Pyramidenkogel in the north and the Sattnitzzug in the south. There are several small lakes in it, including the Keutschacher See .
geography
The valley is a tectonically marked and glacial valley furrow. In it lie - from west to east - the four lakes Hafnersee , Keutschacher See, Baßgeigensee and Rauschelesee , which shape the landscape. The Penkensee is an artificially dammed pond. The basins in which the lakes are located were created at the end of the last Ice Age, when the receding glaciers left moraine walls that dammed the lakes.
To the west, the valley furrow is bounded by a valley watershed . The western part, including the area of the village Schiefling am See , is drained by the Roda or Rakouzabach, which flows into the Hafnersee. A second brook flows into the Hafnersee from the south, which is also the drain of the Penkensee. The outflow of the Hafnersee flows to the east and flows into the Keutschacher See after 800 m. The Keutschacher See drains to the north, its outflow flows after 2.3 km as Reifnitzbach into the Wörthersee .
The eastern part of the valley furrow, east of the Keutschacher See, is separated from the western part by a valley watershed and drains to the east. A strong spring at the northern foot of the Sattnitz, the Müllnerquelle, feeds the Baßgeigensee. The outflow of the lake flows to the east and flows after around 800 m into the Rauschelesee, whose outflow to the east in turn flows into the Treimischer ponds , which form the eastern border of the valley furrow. The Treimischer ponds drain over the Viktringer Bach into the Glanfurt .
Landscape protection area
Large parts of the Seental form the nature reserve Keutschacher-See-Tal, which covers 2532 hectares and was established in 1970. It includes parts of the communities of Keutschach am See , Ludmannsdorf and Schiefling am See .
