Sillian

Sillian has served as a market town in East Tyrol since the late Middle Ages. It lies in the upper Puster Valley on the Drava, close to Austria’s border with Italy, with the Carnic Alps to the north and the Dolomites rising to the south. The town is a base for routes through the Hochpustertal and for the Drauradweg, the long-distance cycle route that follows the river downstream. Above neighbouring Heinfels, medieval Heinfels Castle recalls the area’s strategic position on an old Alpine transit corridor. Local life links valley farming with close connections to South Tyrol.
