Osttirol
East Tirol is the sun-drenched high valley nestled between the jagged peaks of the **Hohe Tauern** and the **Lienzer Dolomiten**.
Highlights
East Tyrol is Austria’s sunniest district and a paradise for mountain lovers. The district of Lienz is surrounded by the mighty peaks of the Hohe Tauern National Park in the north and the striking Lienzer Dolomites in the south. The district capital, Lienz, charms with its medieval old town and Schloss Bruck. Matrei in Osttirol serves as the gateway to the national park and is the starting point for hikes to the Großglockner (3,798 m), Austria’s highest mountain. Kals am Großglockner is the key base for Großglockner ascents, featuring the famous Kalser Höhenweg trail.
