Assling

Idyllic location on the sunny plateau

The idyllic municipality of Assling is situated on a sunny plateau at the eastern entrance to the Pustertal and comprises no fewer than 18 districts. Assling is therefore one of the largest municipalities in Osttirol. This tranquil village nestles picturesquely on the slopes along the panoramic road" Pustertaler Höhenstraße". With an average of 10 hours of sunshine per day, it’s clear that this municipality is truly blessed with sunshine. In addition to the warming rays of the sun, high above the Pustertal you’ll naturally also find mountains, streams, flowers, meadows, forests, and plenty of water. Throughout the entire municipality, breathtaking views unfold as the steep rock formations of the Lienzer Dolomiten glow in the evening sunset. The townscape of Assling is also characterized by its numerous churches, chapels, and “Stöckl’n,” including the charming chapel “Zum heiligsten Herzen Jesu” (To the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus). The residents of Assling are extremely active in community organizations; it’s no coincidence that this municipality of 1,783 residents has the third-largest volunteer fire department in all of Tyrol, with over 150 members.

In order to be an attractive holiday destination for young and old, Assling offers a wide range of leisure activities. Especially for families, the Assling Wildlife Park is a worthwhile attraction. After visiting the animals drop by the summer toboggan run. In the valley, the ViTHAL leisure centre attracts numerous visitors every year. It offers various activity options - a jump into the cool water seems to be just as tempting as a fast-paced tennis match. In direct proximity to the leisure centre also is the popular Drau Cycle Path, which leads to the district capital Lienz in a few minutes. The valley accommodates an insider tip among theexcursion destinations of Osttirol: The Vitalpinum. Nearby the Drau Cycle Path, the vital powers of the mountains and their herbs can be felt and experienced on 6,500 m2 here - for example on the Kneipp path.

 

During the winter months, the snowy landscape in and around Assling has a lot to offer anyway. The town has a small ski lift, where pure wintry mountain romance can still be experienced. By the way: the Compedal Skihütte (ski lodge) is a popular meeting place, where you can take a walk, toboggan or simply relax under the warming winter sun and in fresh mountain air.
