Lienz: The Pearl of the Dolomites

Where the Isel flows into the Drau and the Dolomites open up a wide valley basin, lies the social, economic, and cultural center of East Tyrol: Lienz. The district capital is so spoiled by the sun that you can expect an almost Mediterranean flair with palm trees in the streets. Lienz is bursting with cultural offerings and sights. Above the Isel, the approximately 750-year-old Bruck Castle towers, which today is an exhibition venue and houses a museum. The picturesque old town with the Antoniuskirchl, the Liebburg, and the Franciscan monastery invites you to linger and stroll. In the small streets, there are numerous craft businesses, boutiques, shops, restaurants, and small cafes. Various events, such as the street theater festival in summer and the magical Christmas market in December, bring life to the streets. The Johannesplatz with the imposing Mariensäule is also inviting.

You can easily reach the popular winter sports areas in Tyrol, Zettersfeld and Hochstein, from your holiday apartment or house at an affordable price by cable car. A fun park and a total of 40 km of slopes ensure unadulterated pleasure, and you and your children can toboggan on numerous natural toboggan runs, while well-prepared trails are available for cross-country skiing. A highlight is the 2.7 km long all-year toboggan run on Hochstein.
