East Tyrol is a real Paradise for mountain lovers.

The view of the 3000 meter high peaks are as least as fascinating, as the hidden wonders of the valleys and mountains. During hiking we can see glaciers, waterfalls, mountain creeks and lakes – there are plenty of trails starting from the valleys. Light walk or rock climbing – choose the one that fits to your taste. For cyclists the bike route along the river Isel is a comfortable terrain, but the steep mountain slopes also call them for more exciting adventures. Motorcycles can conquer even higher mountains – thanks to beautiful serpentine roads in good condition.

For those who like more extreme adventures we recommend rafting tours down the river Isel or paragliding. We are also happy to organize for our guests a Via Ferrata tour nearby. Both children and adults enjoy the long ride on the bobsled track or the adventure parks.

Lienz, the city of sunlight

One of the sunniest cities of Austria. Lies on the confluence of the rivers Isel and Drava, at the foot of the Hohe Tauern mountain range. The historical monuments of Lienz are almost unscarred despite the fact that it was totally bombed down during the second World War. The buildings of the downtown have been rebuilt. On the city’s main square located the Lieburg palace which was built in the 16th century, hosting the city council now . About 1.5 km from here overlooking the area the castle of Schloss Bruck which was built in the second half of the 13th century.

Tristacher Lake

About 3km away from the city center, at the foot of the Dolomites of Lienz lies this pearl of beauty surrounded by tall mountain walls. The only natural lake of East Tyrol which is suitable for swimming in the summer but we recommend this only for cold water lovers since the water get above 5 degrees celsius only in the warmest months. The surrounding area of the lake is visited by lots of tourists. Many walking paths set off to the mountains and valleys of the Dolomites of Lienz. For visitors ready for more challenging routes we recommend climbing to the lake Laserz located 2260 meters above the sea level.
