The Bezirk Lienz ( Italian : Distretto di Lienz ) is an administrative district ( Bezirk ) in Tyrol , Austria . It is the only district in East Tyrol . The district borders the Pinzgau ( Salzburg ) in the north, the districts Spittal an der Drau and Hermagor (both Carinthia ) in the east, Veneto ( Italy ) in the south, and South Tyrol ( Italy ) in the west.
The area of the district is 2,016.41 km², with a population of 48,833 (January 1, 2019), and population a density of 25 persons per km². The administrative center of the district is Lienz .
In 1918 it was occupied by the Italian Army. [1] In 1919, Trentino and South Tyrol were split from what is now the Austrian state of Tyrol in the Treaty of Saint-Germain (these three entities made up the old Austro-Hungarian county of Tyrol ). Since this time, East Tyrol has been separated from North Tyrol by about 5 km of border between the federal state of Salzburg and South Tyrol . Accordingly, it forms an inner-Austrian exclave of the federal state of Tyrol . It was also the only part of modern Tyrol not occupied by France after World War II , instead forming part of the British zone .
Geography
The district comprises parts of the Puster Valley , the valleys Iseltal , Defereggen , Virgental , Kalser Tal , and the Tyrolean Gailtal . Mountain ranges in the district include parts of the Hohe Tauern with Venediger Group and Glockner Group , the Defereggen Alps , the Lienz Dolomits , and the Karnisch Alps .
Shortest road connection to North Tyrol is the Felbertauern road ( P1 ), and the Felbertauern tunnel (about 5.3 km). Lienz is located at a road junction between the federal Felbertauern road ( B108 ), a road to the Puster Valley ( B100 ) and South Tyrol , and a road to the Drautal valley and Carinthia .
