Felber-Tauern Strasse

The chief town of East Tirol, Lienz, is reached from the north (Mittersill) on the Felber- Tauern-Strasse, which from the province of Salzburg passes under the mountains into East Tirol through the Felber-Tauern Tunnel, more than 5km/3mi long. This passage through the Alps is one of the most important of Austria's north-south links, and can be used right through the year.
