Suzanne,
 
Krain (English:  "Carinthia") is a province in the south of Austria, bordering
on Slovenia;  its capital is Klagenfurt.  The place your faculty member seeks
is probably VELDEN, a city on the western end of the W"orther [Woerther] See,
approximately half way between Klagenfurt and Villach.
