Sillian: Bergstation Ausservillgraten (2200m) - Hochpustertal

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.

Tyrol combines an energetic alpine identity with an established urban culture in a way that reflects its position within the central Eastern Alps. Innsbruck, the regional capital on the River Inn, lies beneath the Nordkette range and brings imperial-era architecture into close contact with high mountain terrain. Its Golden Roof remains one of the city’s best-known historic landmarks, while the surrounding valleys connect settlements, ski areas and hiking country across the region.

Austria stretches from the Bohemian Massif along its northern edge to the Carnic Alps on the Italian border, encompassing high Alpine ranges and the Danube lowlands. The Danube links cities including Linz and Vienna, while the Grossglockner, at 3,798 metres, is the country’s highest mountain. Vienna developed for centuries as the seat of the Habsburg court, leaving imperial architecture around the Hofburg and Schönbrunn Palace. Salzburg is closely associated with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who was born there in 1756. Alpine Tyrol, wine-growing areas east of Vienna and the lakes of Salzkammergut add markedly different regional identities.
