This was our day for going home from Italy, crossing the southern part of Austria. We made short stops, and took some photos.

SILLIAN

This small town is Sillian in Austria, just a few kilometers away from the Italian border. 

Heinfels castle is guarding the Puster Valley like a huge sentinel.
It was built in the 13th century by the counts of Görz.

This is  Austria´s oldest covered wooden bridge, the so-called "Prunbrugge".

The bridge had two tracks: one for the carts, and one for the pedestrians.
The bridge is no more in use.

This is the track for the carts.

And this is the pedestrian part of the bridge.

The bridge is decorated with flowers.

Panorama in Gail Valley.

WOLFSBERG

Wolfsberg Castle has for centuries been the prominent landmark of the town, it was built in 1178. The architectural monuments  in Wolfsberg’s old town bear witness to a rich history. One of the oldest and most important architectural monuments in Wolfsberg is the old Parish Church of St. Mark (Stadtpfarrkirche St. Markus) which was first mentioned in a document in 1216. The church has a 72-metre high tower.

St. Anna’s Chapel, built in 1497, is the property of the bakers’ guild and is therefore also referred to as the "Bakers’ Chapel”.  Wolfsberg is the main town of the river Lavant valley in eastern Carinthia.
