Blick über den karinthischen Hauptkamm und die Grenze zwischen Italien und Austria

forms the striking natural border between Austria and Italy — a region that, among other things, was once the scene of brutal fighting and harsh conditions during World War I.

The view from Maria Luggau toward the mountains is especially breathtaking in the evenings.

Located between the Lienz Dolomites and the famous Italian Dolomites with the Three Peaks (Tre Cime) National Park, this area has, so far, been largely spared from mass tourism — making it a true hidden paradise.

From our cabin at 1,600 meters, the panoramic view is incredible, and it’s the perfect starting point for a wide range of hikes — from easy trails to high-level alpine routes in all directions.

Summers here are always a highlight for anyone who loves outdoor life.
