Excursions
Lienz is a central starting point for excursions in all directions.
Here are a few of the best places to go:
- East Tyrol's valleys with their lovely old mountain farms adorned with flowers, churches, chapels, castles and ruins.
- The tremendous mountain landscape of the Hohe Tauern National Park.
- The Großglockner High Alpine Road and Heiligenblut
- Across the border to Italy (South Tyrol) with Dobbiaco, Brunico, Lake Misurina, Sesto and Cortina d'Ampezzo.
- The lakes of Carinthia
- Kals am Großglockner and the Lucknerhaus

Innergschlöß
Innergschlöß lies in a trubutary valley of the Tauern valley, the most beautiful head of a valley in the entire Eastern Alps. A little further downstream stands the Matreier Tauernhaus, which can be reached by taxi.
Umbal Falls
The Umbalfälle are a waterfall on the upper reaches of the Isel in the Hohe Tauern National Park and they were declared a natural monument in 1991.
It takes about 40 minutes to walk to the two snack-bars Pebellalm and Islitzer Alm, but it is a lot more fun in the horse-drawn carriage. Beyond these the water walkway begins, taking you up to the top of the falls, with several observation platforms and explanatory charts en route.
