Carnic And Gailtal Alps
The Carnic and Gailtal Alps (, ) is a geographic grouping of mountain ranges belonging to the Southern Limestone Alps. They are located in Austria and Italy. Geography The range is bound by the Drau River in the north, separating it from the Western Tauern Alps, Western Tauern section of the Central Eastern Alps. The northern, entirely Austrian range is called the Gailtal Alps or ''Drauzug'', bordered by the Gail (river), Gail River in the south. The Gail Valley is on the Periadriatic Seam, so that from a tectonic perspective the Gailtal Alps belong to the Central Eastern Alps. The Gailtal Alps are divided by the very deep Gailbergsattel (981 m) into a higher western section called the Lienzer Dolomites and a lower eastern section, to which the name Gailtal Alps is sometimes restricted. Passes in the eastern section include the Kreuzbergsattel and Windische Höhe Pass, Windische Höhe. The main ridge of the Carnic Alps forms the Austrian-Italian border and stretches from promin ...

Carnic Alps
The Carnic Alps (; ; ; ) are a range of the Southern Limestone Alps in Austria and northeastern Italy. They are within Austrian East Tyrol and Carinthia, and Italian Friuli (Province of Udine) and marginally in Veneto. Etymology They are named after the Roman province of Carnia, which probably has a Celtic origin. The mountains gave their name to the stage on the geologic time scale known as Carnian, an age in the Triassic Period. Geography They extend from east to west for about between the Gail River, a tributary of the Drava and the Tagliamento, forming the border between Austria and Italy. Alpine Club classification In the Carnic Alps is the southernmost glacier in Austria, the Eiskar, nestling in the Kellerwand massif. Notable peaks Among the most important mountains of the range are: * / (2,782 m) * (2,774 m) * / (2,694 m) * / (2,689 m) * (2,603 m) * (2,586 m) * (2,474 m) * (2,462 m) * (2,434 m) *'' Cresta di Enghe'' (2,414 m) ...

Friuli
Friuli (; ; or ; ; ) is a historical region of northeast Italy. The region is marked by its separate regional and ethnic identity predominantly tied to the Friulians, who speak the Friulian language. It comprises the major part of the autonomous region Friuli-Venezia Giulia, i.e. the administrative Provinces of Italy, provinces of Province of Udine, Udine, Province of Pordenone, Pordenone, and Province of Gorizia, Gorizia, excluding Province of Trieste, Trieste. Names The name originates from the ancient Roman town of ("Julius Caesar, Julius' Forum (Roman), Forum"), now Cividale del Friuli. Geography Friuli is bordered on the west by the Veneto region with the border running along the Livenza river, on the north by the crest of the Carnic Alps between Carnia and Austrian Carinthia (state), Carinthia, on the east by the Julian Alps, the border with Slovenia and the Timavo river, and on the south by the Adriatic Sea.

Plöcken Pass
Plöcken Pass (, ) is a high mountain pass in the Carnic Alps mountain range at the border between the Austrian state of Carinthia (state), Carinthia and the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of Italy. It links the market town of Kötschach-Mauthen in the Carinthian Gail (river), Gail Valley with the Paluzza municipality in the Carnia region of Friuli. A few miles to the west along the ridge is Mt. Coglians, with the highest peak of the Carnic and Gailtal Alps. Before reaching the upper Gail Valley, the pass road also crosses the lower Gailbergsattel at in the north. History The Italian name derives from Latin ''Monte Crucis'' ("mountain of the cross"), a denotation of the pass in mediæval times. The valley of the Gail River had been a settlement area since the Neolithic era, and a bridle path probably existed already in the Bronze Age. Roman Empire, Roman forces under General Tiberius rebuilt the path as a Roman roads, road after the incorporation of the Noricum province in 15 BC, ...

Friuli-Venezia Giulia
Friuli-Venezia Giulia () is one of the 20 regions of Italy and one of five autonomous regions with special statute. The regional capital is Trieste on the Gulf of Trieste, a bay of the Adriatic Sea. Friuli-Venezia Giulia has an area of and about 1,194,095 inhabitants as of 2025. A natural opening to the sea for many central European countries, the region is traversed by the major transport routes between the east and west of Southern Europe. It encompasses the historical-geographical region of Friuli and a small portion of the historical region of —also known in English as the Julian March—each with its own distinct history, traditions and identity. Name ''Friuli'' comes from the Latin term (' Julius' forum'), a center for commerce in the Roman times, which today corresponds to the city of Cividale. The denomination ''Venezia Giulia'' ('Julian Venetia', not referring to the city of Venice but to the Roman province of Venetia et Histria) was proposed by the Italian l ...

Two-thousanders Of Austria
Two-thousanders are mountains that have a height of at least 2,000 metres above sea level, but less than 3,000 metres. The term is used in Alpine circles, especially in Europe (e.g. German: ''Zweitausender''). The two photographs show two typical two-thousanders in the Alps that illustrate different types of mountain. The Säuling (top) is a prominent, individual peak, whereas the Schneeberg (bottom) is an elongated limestone massif. In ranges like the Allgäu Alps, the Gesäuse or the Styrian-Lower Austrian Limestone Alps the mountain tour descriptions for mountaineers or hikers commonly include the two-thousanders, especially in areas where only a few summits exceed this level. Examples from these regions of the Eastern Alps are: * the striking Nebelhorn (2,224 m) near Oberstdorf or the Säuling (2,047 m) near Neuschwanstein, * the Admonter Reichenstein (2,251 m), Eisenerzer Reichenstein (2,165 m), Großer Pyhrgas (2,244 m) or Hochtor (2,3 ...

Austria–Italy Border
The Austrian–Italian border is a land border along the Alps between the Republic of Italy and the Republic of Austria. Although a border between Austria and Italy has existed since the 1861 Proclamation of the Kingdom of Italy, most of the current modern-day border was only established in 1920, after the First World War. It has been an EU internal border since 1 January 1995. The border was last changed in 1947. History The border of 1861 had been established shortly before the Kingdom of Italy between the Austrian Empire and Italy's predecessors the Kingdom of Sardinia and its client state the United Provinces of Central Italy. The border between Austria and the United Provinces had until 1859 been the Austrian border with the Duchy of Modena and Reggio, and the Papal States; these had mostly been established in 1815 by the Congress of Vienna following the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars and broadly restored those states to their pre-revolution territories.

Mountains Of Friuli-Venezia Giulia
A mountain is an elevated portion of the Earth's crust, generally with steep sides that show significant exposed bedrock. Although definitions vary, a mountain may differ from a plateau in having a limited summit area, and is usually higher than a hill, typically rising at least above the surrounding land. A few mountains are isolated summits, but most occur in mountain ranges. Mountains are formed through tectonic forces, erosion, or volcanism, which act on time scales of up to tens of millions of years. Once mountain building ceases, mountains are slowly leveled through the action of weathering, through slumping and other forms of mass wasting, as well as through erosion by rivers and glaciers. High elevations on mountains produce colder climates than at sea level at similar latitude. These colder climates strongly affect the ecosystems of mountains: different elevations have different plants and animals. Because of the less hospitable terrain and climate, mountains te ...
