Lienz is a
medieval city in
Tyrol,
Austria. It is the administrative centre of the
Lienz district (
Bezirk), which covers all of
East Tyrol. Lienz is located on the rivers
Isel and
Drau, and has a population of c. 12,000 (as of 2001).It received its
city rights on
February 25 1242. Lienz is located at a road junction between the federal Felbertauern road (B108), a road to the
Pustertal valley (B100) and
South Tyrol, and a road to the Drautal valley and
Carinthia. It is also connected by the
Austrian Southern Railway.By the consistent growth of the city of Lienz, some smaller villages which were beyond Lienz formerly, are now widely known to be suburbs of Lienz. Those suburbs comprise (clockwise from north): Thurn, Gaimberg, Nußdorf, Debant, Tristach, Amlach and Leisach.
