Sunshine, Mountains and Culture
With
the many hours of sunshine, the unique mountain scenery and the
region's rich culture, Lienz is the perfect place to relax and enjoy
life. Here Mediterranean attitude towards life meets stunning mountain
landscape. Where else can you sip a cappucino under palm trees whilst
at the same time marvelling at the steep, impressive Dolomite
mountains?
The
attractiveness of this region was appreciated as early as during the
rule of the Ancient Romans who built "Aguntum" here, the only Roman
town in Tyrol. Numerous castles, churches and museums tell of the
history of East Tyrol. Many artists, galleries, living traditions and
unique events make Lienz today a cultural treasure trove.
The
Dolomites are often referred to as the most beautiful mountains in the
world. Soft green hills and woods open into rugged impressive rock
formations. Experience the Lienz Dolomites whilst walking or hiking,
mountain biking, golf or skiing.
