Thurn

The landscape around Gemeinde Thurn is a sun-facing Alpine slope above the Lienz basin, where scattered hamlets, meadows and woodland have shaped both the settlement pattern and local economy. This East Tyrolean municipality lies north of Lienz, between the Schober Group and the Lienz Dolomites; the Isel and Drava meet in the valley below. Thurn’s parish church of St Nicholas provides a local historic focal point, while the nearby Zettersfeld upland is associated with walking and winter sport. Rather than a compact town centre, Thurn is a rural community whose homes are spread across the hillside, with Lienz supplying the district’s urban services and rail links.
