Ossiach Tauern

The highest point of the Ossiach Tauern is the Taubenbühel which is 1,069 m (AA).

At its western end, on a prominent hill, are the ruins of Landskron Castle.

Not far from the re-opened castle, which is now used as a restaurant and falconry station, hikers can join the Tauern hiking trail to the Jungfernsprung, a rock formation that drops steeply to Lake Ossiach, from where there is an extensive view of the western part of the lake and the Gerlitze.

An old quarry is visible from Villach, which until recently used to produce rocks for river engineering in Carinthia.

In the northeast, across the Bleistatt stream are the ruins of Prägrad Castle.
