The Lienzer Talboden is framed in the north by the foothills of the Hohe Tauern, in the west by the last ridge of the Villgrater mountains, in the northeast with the Ziethenkamm from the Kreuzeck group and in the south by the rocky peaks of the Lienz Dolomites. Just as different as the mountains are the scenic features that can be experienced along the Lienzer Talboden circular hiking trail. Starting at Schloss Bruck on the western outskirts of Lienz, the 45 km loop first leads along the Hochstein and the foot of the Lienz Dolomites, changes to the sunny side in the area of the Carinthian Gate and then returns to Lienz, mostly running above the valley floor. Numerous natural and cultural highlights await hikers along the route. It is also worth taking a break at the various refreshment stops. Those who find the entire round too strenuous can complete the tour in individual stages.
