Tucked away on the easternmost edge of the Lienz Valley lies the sun-drenched town of Nikolsdorf— the easternmost town in Tyrol. “Welcome to Osttirol” is the greeting at the town entrance, just past the Carinthian border.
Nikolsdorf has the not insignificant task of giving visitors to Osttirol a good first impression of the region and its people in “Mountain Tyrol” upon their arrival. The idyllic town center and the north faces of the eastern Lienzer Dolomiten play a major role in creating this impression. The hospitality of Nikolsdorf’s residents does the rest to round out the overall picture. The main settlement of the castle parish is the village of Lengberg, where the eponymous Lengberg Castle is particularly worth seeing. Now restored, the first documented mention of Lengberg Castle dates back to the year 1190.
However, above all, its airfield makes the 887-soul community a special place among the Osttiroler communities. On a sightseeing flight high above Nikolsdorf you can look at the unique mountain ranges of the Lienz Dolomites, the Schober Group and the Debant Valley from a most special perspective. Anyone who enjoys the Osttiroler mountains like this will see their beauty in a completely different light.
The weather data is collected from the meteorological station in Lienz. The village Nikolsdorf is located 14 km from Lienz.
On Friday, the weather here in East Tyrol will be dominated by mostly calm autumn conditions under the influence of a high-pressure system. However, autumn also brings isolated patches of fog or low-lying mist over the low-lying areas. Away from these areas, though, the sun will mostly shine during the day, with just a few clouds here and there. Temperatures will rise in the afternoon, particularly in the regions that enjoy more sunshine, reaching levels that are pleasant for November.
