Althofen

Tucked above the Krappfeld valley in northern Carinthia, Althofen is a place whose character is shaped by its elevated setting over the surrounding lowlands. The old upper town, set along a ridge, reflects Althofen’s long role as a local market centre, while neighbouring Treibach is closely linked to Carinthia’s industrial development. The Auer von Welsbach Museum documents the work of Carl Auer von Welsbach, the Austrian inventor whose gas mantle and metal-filament lamp transformed lighting technology.
