Obervellach

Tucked into the Möll valley beneath the Hohe Tauern, Obervellach is a place whose character is shaped by the river corridor and steep Alpine slopes. The market town lies in Upper Carinthia, where routes through the Tauern have long connected valleys on either side of the main Alpine divide. Medieval mining of gold, silver and copper gave Obervellach lasting importance; its compact centre still reflects that prosperous era in its old houses and parish church. Nearby, the Groppenstein Gorge follows the Mallnitzbach through rock channels and beside waterfalls, adding a memorable walking destination close to town.
