Carinthia

Carinthia (German: Kärnten) is the southernmost Austrian state or Land. Situated within the Eastern Alps it is chiefly noted for its mountains and lakes. Carinthia consists mostly of the Klagenfurt basin and the mountain ranges of Upper Carinthia. The Carnic Alps and the Karawanken/Karavanke  make up the border to the Italian region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia  and Slovenia. The Hohe Tauern mountain range with mount Grossglockner separates it from the northern state of Salzburg. To the north-east and east beyond the Packsattel  mountain pass is the state of Styria.
