Sankt Urban

Sankt Urban is a town in the district of Feldkirchen in the Austrian state of Carinthia.

Sankt Urban lies in the Gurktal Alps in north-central Carinthia, about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) northeast of Feldkirchen on St. Urban Lake.

The Dobra moor (also called Jakobi or Freundsamer moor) is located at an altitude of 902 m above sea level.

Surrounded by numerous gently rolling hills, such as the Gößeberg, Paulsberg and Illmitzer forest, it boasts a rich plant life which is typical of moors.

This bog hosts a rare kind of Nordic Birch, a relic from the ice age which was first discovered in Carinthia in 1922.
