Capital of East Tyrol - the only Austrian district physically separated from its own province by the Hohe Tauern mountain range - Lienz has about 11,600 residents at the confluence of the Isel and Drau rivers. The Aguntum archaeological site, three kilometres east, preserves a Roman municipium that thrived from the first to the fifth century along the route over the Plockenpass to Italy. Schloss Bruck, a thirteenth-century castle above the town, houses a gallery of works by the painter Albin Egger-Lienz.
The Zettersfeld and Hochstein ski areas flank the town on opposite sides, both reaching above 2,000 metres. In summer, the Dolomiten valley to the south offers rock climbing routes on limestone walls that rival the Italian Dolomites across the border. Hotels in Lienz accommodate companion meetings. Escortservice.com publishes reviewed profiles for the Tyrol region. We do not arrange, mediate, or provide any services.
The Hauptplatz, a wide rectangular square lined with coloured facades, enjoys a microclimate with more sunshine hours than much of Tyrol - Lienz markets itself as Austria's sunniest city. You must be at least 18.
