This stage leads from the “Kärntner Tor” (Carinthian Gateway), from the freedom memorial near Nörsach or from Nikolsdorf on the Carinthia/Tyrol border in the upper Drau valley to Lienz, whereby one does not simply walk along the Drau but instead along a small, very worthwhile additional loop through Lavant, Dölsach and Tristach. The path ends in Lienz in front of the inn Goldener Fisch.
