Holiday region Lienzer Dolomiten

Mediterranean influence amidst the mountains

In the holiday region Lienz Dolomites you stand on historical ground, as already the Romans settled in this region. Later on, the counts of Gorizia resided at Bruck Castle and built a fortified city wall, which is still partly preserved. But they also brought the Italian way of life and the southern flair to Lienz. Today, the city has about 12,000 inhabitants.

 

The small town at the foot of the Lienz Dolomites has its own charm. Historic buildings, small alleyways with colourful facades and attractively designed squares provide the setting for numerous sports and cultural events with international participants and audience.

 

In addition to unforgettable nature experiences in the Dolomite region, Lienz offers another special feature: the small shops and craft shops, run by passionate owners, which have long been extinct elsewhere. Some of them are true gems. The old unites with the new, the modern, thus creating a broad, colourful range of products. From hip fashion shops and noble boutiques to small shops, some of which offer special curiosities. Take your time for shopping in Lienz. You are going to meet very special people. Culinary holiday highlights are available at numerous cafes and restaurants in the city centre. After the meal, people like to enjoy fine schnapps, which is often awarded international prizes.
