Ebenthal in Carinthia is located directly southeast of the Carinthian provincial capital Klagenfurt am Woerthersee. The municipality extends from the Klagenfurt Basin into the wooded hills of the Sattnitz ridge. Historically significant is Ebenthal Castle, a Renaissance building from the 16th century that was baroque-style redesigned in the 18th century and gave the community its name. In recent decades, Ebenthal has developed from a primarily agricultural structure into a modern and sought-after residential community, mainly due to its convenient location and high quality of life. The landscape provides a mix of wide fields, floodplain landscapes along the Glan River, and the hiking trails of the Sattnitz. A special natural gem is the Ebenthal Waterfall, which is a popular destination for hikers. The community places great value on preserving its traditions and active club life, which strengthens social cohesion. Despite its proximity to Klagenfurt, Ebenthal has maintained a distinct identity. Economically, small and medium-sized enterprises and service companies dominate the scene today. The excellent infrastructure and proximity to the Carinthian lakes make Ebenthal a well-suited starting point for leisure activities throughout the Lower Carinthia region.
