Hidden on the very eastern edge of the Lienz valley is the sun-kissed community of Nikolsdorf - the easternmost municipality in Tyrol. "Welcome to Osttirol" is the motto here at the entrance to the village, right at the Carinthian border.
Nikolsdorf has the not unimportant function of giving arriving visitors to Osttirol a first good impression of the country and the people of "Alpine Tyrol". The idyllic centre and the north walls of the eastern Lienz Dolomites support this with their appearance. Nikolsdorf’s hospitableness does the rest to complete the picture. The main settlement of the cadastral community is the village of Lengberg, where the eponymous castle Lengberg is particularly worth seeing. By now restored, Lengberg Castle was first officially mentioned in 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.
The influence of a low-pressure system is increasing from the west. Thick cloud will generally dominate during the day, so the sun will struggle to break through. There will also be frequent rain and showers, with the heaviest rainfall expected along the Carnic Alps. Although temperatures are already slightly lower than they have been recently, it is still relatively mild. The snow line will drop below 1,500 metres above sea level in some places by Thursday.
