Top attractions

The historic parish church of St James the Elder is particularly worth a visit, as are the 8 other listed, immovable buildings in the municipality. Lake Tristach is a popular excursion destination in the warmer months of the year, with a fantastic location at the foot of the Lienz Dolomites. Marked, child-friendly hiking trails take you to another natural jewel, the Tessenberger Almsee, in around 30 minutes on foot.
