!!!Lienzer Klause

Lienzer Klause Gorge, East Tirol, narrows in the Drautal valley south 
of Lienz (municipality of Leisach), eastern border of Pustertal 
valley. Name first mentioned in 1253. Its favourable defensive 
location once led to the building of a fortification (today Lienzer 
Klause Ruin near Burgfrieden) and was repeatedly of military use, the 
last time in the Tirolean peasants' uprising of in 1809.
