Discover Kleblach Lind

Kleblach-Lind lies at the eastern end of the Upper Drava Valley. The municipal area is bounded to the north by the Kreuzeck Group and to the south by the Goldeck Group. The townscape includes a historic center, and there is also a bathing lake in an idyllic natural setting. This offers different options for planning your trip: local history, buildings and landscapes can be explored alongside water and mountain activities.

History between mining and churches

Mining in the Siflitzgraben shaped the area's economy for centuries, beginning in the late Middle Ages. The history can also be traced through the dates of individual churches and buildings. The parish of Lind in the Drava Valley is documented from 1242. The Maria Hilf branch church was consecrated in 1347 and was formerly the chapel of Unterlind Castle. The ruins of two castles also lie above Lind.

The Wallnerhaus in Lind dates from around 1500 and is Late Gothic. It therefore offers a different historical reference point from the parish's early documentary mention or the consecration of Maria Hilf. Anyone interested in the area's history will find several specific points of reference in these different dates and buildings.

Churches and listed buildings

Gajach is home to a Late Gothic branch church with massive buttresses. Its pointed triumphal arch bears the date 1528. The Chapel of the Visitation of Mary in Fellbach belongs to a different building period: it is a Late Baroque structure with a 3/8 polygonal end and was altered in the late 19th century. Comparing these buildings brings the municipality's different architectural forms and historical dates into focus.

As of June 19, 2026, Kleblach-Lind railway station, the Wallnerhaus in Lind and several church complexes are protected as historic monuments. These include the Catholic branch church of St. Lambertus and the old cemetery in Lengholz, as well as the Catholic parish church of St. Bartholomew and the cemetery in Lind. At Maria Hilf, its former connection to Unterlind Castle and the year of its consecration, 1347, come together; in Gajach, meanwhile, the date 1528 is inscribed on the triumphal arch. These different details offer a point of reference if you are interested in architectural history and historical connections.

Radlberg, mountains and the Drava Paddling Trail

To reach Radlberg, travel from Sachsenburg via the B100 to Kleblach. At the Rauter inn, first turn right, then after about 600 meters turn right again onto the signposted road to Radlberg. Road conditions can change, so check them before setting out. The Radlberger Alm offers views stretching as far as the Julian Alps. Mountain bikers can take on challenging routes in the mountains around Kleblach-Lind. The approximate distance of 600 meters and the signposted turn help with navigation, while the alpine views and mountain biking offer their own reasons to focus on the mountain landscape.

The Drava Paddling Trail consists of eleven stages and covers more than 220 kilometers between Lienz and Lavamünd. On its western section, SUPs, single and double sea kayaks, and canoes can be rented at previously arranged entry and exit points. As rental arrangements can change, it is advisable to check the agreement before your trip. The bathing lake in a natural setting adds another dimension to the area's water-based activities.

Whether your focus is historic buildings, mountain landscapes or water activities, these facts give you a range of ideas for planning your trip without assuming a single set itinerary.
