Eisenkappel-Vellach
Among the places of the Kamnik–Savinja Alps, Kokrsko sedlo stands out for its 1,793-metre saddle beneath Grintovec, the range’s highest summit at 2,558 metres. Cojzova koča, a mountain hut named after the Slovenian naturalist Karel Zois, stands on the saddle above the Kokra Valley. Limestone walls, scree and low alpine vegetation define this high mountain terrain, where marked paths connect the hut with the valley and routes toward Grintovec. Kokrsko sedlo is an important resting point for walkers and mountaineers crossing this central part of Slovenia’s northern alpine region.

Built around settlements in the Vellach River valley, Eisenkappel-Vellach grew into a southern Carinthian municipality on the Austrian side of the Karawanks. Known in Slovene as Železna Kapla-Bela, it belongs to Carinthia’s bilingual borderland, where Slovene traditions remain part of local life. The Vellach runs through a steep, wooded valley before joining the Drava, while nearby Mount Obir is home to the Obir Dripstone Caves, formed in former mine workings. Its main settlement, Bad Eisenkappel, is also a spa town. Move on to other webcams in Carinthia to compare landscapes and settings around the Karawanks.

Carinthia is best known within Austria for its warm Alpine lakes, especially Lake Wörthersee. Austria’s southernmost province lies along the eastern Alps, where the Drava River runs through broad valleys below mountain slopes. Lake Millstatt and Lake Ossiach provide further waterside focal points, while the rounded Nock Mountains shape much of the interior. Klagenfurt, the provincial capital, is recognised for the Lindwurm fountain on Neuer Platz, a long-standing symbol of the city.

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.
