Gemeinde Lavant straddles the transition between the Drava valley floor and the foothills of the Lienz Dolomites in East Tyrol, a position that connects its farmland with nearby Lienz. The municipality is known for Kirchbichl, an archaeological hill where Roman-era and Late Antique remains record settlement in the upper Drava valley. The site preserves the remains of two early Christian churches, a notable testament to the region’s early Alpine Christian heritage. Lavant is also home to the Dolomitengolf course beneath the mountain chain. Place Lavant within the wider East Tyrolean landscape by browsing webcams from the Drava valley.
