The Dolomites rise like an amphitheatre around Lienz, which straddles the Isel and Drau
Rivers and lies just 40km north of Italy. Those same arresting river and mountain views
welcomed the Romans, who settled here some 2000 years ago and whose legacy is ex-
plored at medieval castle Schloss Bruck and archaeological site Aguntum. Looking up to
the blushing Dolomites at sunset, it's easy to see why they were so taken with this region,
which is an exclave of Tyrol.
