Moell, Carinthia, north-western tributary of the river Drau/Drava, 
70 km long, except for some short sections, very good water

running off at the south-eastern foot of the Grossglockner mountain 
(3,798 m), flows through the southern slope of the Hohe Tauern 
mountains and discharges near Moellbruecke (557 m). The upper 
part of the Moell, flowing southwards, abounds in waterfalls and 
gorges; the villages of Heiligenblut (1,291 m), Doellach 
(1,013 m, gold mining industry in medieval times, municipality of 
Grosskirchheim) and Winklern (865 m) are located in this region. 
Average flow at Winklern: 8.1 m%%sup 3/%/second. The central part 
of the Moell, flowing in north-east direction up to Obervellach 
(687 m), passing the villages of Stall (876 m) and Flattach 
(696 m, silver mining industry in medieval times), surrounds the 
Kreuzeckgruppe mountains, located in the south. It then changes its 
direction, flowing southeast into the River Drau/Drava, a small part 
of it flows through the Lurnfeld region. The villages of Oberkolbnitz 
and Unterkolbnitz (municipality of Reisseck) and Muehldorf
