Approach from the south

If you are coming from the south, take the motorway exit Spittal/Lienz/Großglockner, if you are coming from the south-west, drive via Lienz and the Iselsberg towards Mölltal. Your destination is the Tauernschleuse in Mallnitz, for navigation systems please deactivate the option “avoid ferries”.
