Reichenau: Heidi Alm Falkert - Blick nach Westen zum Falkertspitz

Tucked into Carinthia’s Nock Mountains, Reichenau is a place whose character is shaped by the high ground around the upper Gurk valley. The municipality reaches to the Turracher Höhe, a mountain pass on the Styrian border, where Turracher See lies amid the rounded slopes of the Nockberge. These hills form part of the UNESCO Biosphere Park Nockberge, a protected cultural landscape of alpine pastures and forests. Turrach also recalls an industrial era when ironworking and glass production relied on local timber and water power.

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.
