Huttenberg

Huttenberg lies in the Görtschitz Valley along the Görtschitz River, wooded Carinthian slopes rise around a settlement shaped for centuries by iron. The Hüttenberg mining district was an important source of Noric iron, a metal valued in the Roman world; extraction here continued into the modern era. Knappenberg, above the main settlement, preserves the industrial character of this former ore-mining community. Huttenberg is also the birthplace of mountaineer and explorer Heinrich Harrer, remembered at the Heinrich Harrer Museum. Its compact streets and surrounding hiking country offer a contrast to Carinthia’s lake resorts.
