Hohentauern
Hohentauern has served as a mountain crossing in Styria since Roman times. Set on the Triebener Tauern pass in the Niedere Tauern, it occupies a high basin of meadows, conifer woods and scattered farmsteads. The pass route has long connected the Pölstal with the Liesing valley, giving this small community a role beyond its size. Alpine farming remains part of the local character, reflected in timber barns and mountain huts; the surrounding terrain is also used for walking, cycling and winter sports. Hohentauern retains the spacious, working-rural character of Upper Styria.

Hohentauern is best known in Styria for the Hohentauern Pass, a 1,274-metre road crossing in the Niedere Tauern. The pass separates the Rottenmanner Tauern from the Seckauer Tauern, while the settlement lies between the Triebental and Pölstal valleys. The B114 runs through Hohentauern, linking Trieben with communities farther south toward the Murau district. Forests, alpine pastures and marked walking routes shape the area in summer; winter brings downhill and cross-country skiing. The parish church of St Bartholomäus is a familiar landmark in the compact village centre. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Hohentauern and Styria.

The terrain of Styria ranges from Alpine ridges in the north and west to vine-covered hills in the southeast, giving Austria’s second-largest province a distinctly varied character. The Mur is its principal river, flowing through Graz, the provincial capital and largest city. Graz’s Old Town and Schloss Eggenberg are jointly inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List, linking Renaissance and Baroque architecture to the region’s urban identity. Southern Styria is known for vineyards and pumpkin-seed oil, while forests and pastureland shape much of the interior.

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.
