A village in which the night-watchman has been doing the rounds for hundreds of years. Secluded valleys, where traditions have been maintained and in the thick of it, the district capital, Lienz, with its medieval side streets, street cafés and Mediterranean style. Osttirol with its distinctive hospitality and welcoming way stands for traditional Tyrolean experiences, and scores points with culinary delights ranging from traditional fare and ‘Hauben’-awarded cuisine and a fair price-service ratio. A genuine paradise for active holiday-makers, connoisseurs and romantics; summer and winter alike.
