Kotschach-Mauthen

The landscape around Kotschach-Mauthen is an Alpine valley beneath the Carnic Alps, which has shaped both the settlement pattern and local economy. The town lies in the upper Gail Valley of southwestern Carinthia, close to the Italian border and the Plöcken Pass. Mauthen’s name recalls its former function as a toll station on an important route through the mountains. The local Museum 1915–18 documents the First World War battles fought along the nearby Carnic Front, giving the area a tangible link to this contested borderland. Today, the surrounding valleys and high routes define its distinctly Alpine character. Browse other webcams across Carinthia and the Gail Valley to place this setting in a wider geographic context.
