Carinthia Crime Fiction Festival

Carinthia Crime Fiction Festival 2026 in Velden – literary suspense meets a stylish setting. Look forward to top-class readings, atmospheric venues, and an autumnal cultural weekend directly on Lake Wörthersee.

Carinthia Crime Fiction Festival 2026 – Suspense, Style & Lake Views

As the days grow shorter and Lake Wörthersee is bathed in golden light, Velden becomes a hub of literary suspense: The 2026 Carinthia Crime Fiction Festival once again brings renowned authors, spine-tingling stories, and crime-themed entertainment to very special locations – including charming hotels, extraordinary venues, and the Casino Velden.

A Killer Atmosphere at Lake Wörthersee

As part of the festival, renowned crime authors from the German-speaking world read from their latest works. Whether it is a classic reading, an interactive dinner show, or ‘Wine & Words’ in an intimate setting – the program is diverse, high-caliber, and perfect for all those who prefer to enjoy suspense with a glass of wine rather than a high-speed chase.

Culture Meets Culinary Delights – Right in the Heart of Velden

What makes the Crime Fiction Festival in Velden so special: The venues are as atmospheric as the stories themselves. Between hotel bars, historic rooms, and stylish dinner locations, an atmosphere is created that perfectly suits the genre. This is accompanied by regional cuisine, fine wines, and the occasional literary surprise.
