!!!Taurachtal

Taurach Valley, province of Salzburg, name of 2 valleys in the Niedere 
Tauern Range which link the Salzburg part of the Ennstal valley (  
Enns, River) with the Lungau region. Both valleys are drained by 
streams named Taurach. The northern Taurach Valley starts at the 
Radstaedter Tauern Pass (alt. 1738 m), the stream has its source 
north of the municipality of Obertauern, which is the main tourist 
resort (particularly winter sports) in the Taurach valleys. From 
Obertauern, the valley stretches out to the Ennstal valley at Radstadt 
(alt. 858 m). The southern Taurach Valley is the continuation of 
the northern Taurach Valley and extends from the Radstaedter Tauern 
Pass over the villages of Tweng (alt. 1233 m), Mauterndorf 
(1123 m) and Mariapfarr (1120 m) up to the Tamsweg Basin 
(alt. 1022 m). The second Taurach stream rises south of 
Obertauern.
