Villach sits on the Drava River in Carinthia, Austria, where the Gail Valley opens toward the Klagenfurt Basin. The city lies close to the Italian and Slovenian borders, giving it a long-standing role as a rail and road crossroads in the southeastern Alps. Its compact historic centre is marked by the tower of St. Jakob’s Church, while Dobratsch rises nearby as a defining presence above the valley. Each summer, the Villacher Kirchtag fills the centre with traditional dress, music and Carinthian food during one of Austria’s best-known folk festivals.
