Reißeck is a municipality in the district of Spittal an der Drau in Carinthia in Austria. Situated within the valley of the Möll River, a tributary to the Drava, Reißeck consists of the four Katastralgemeinden Kolbnitz, Zandlach, Penk and Teuchl. The commune was established in 1973 and named after the northern Reißeck mountain (2,965m/9,727 ft), a part of the Hohe Tauern range like the Kreuzeck Group in the south.
Kolbnitz is a village in Reißeck at the centre of the Mölltal valley, equidistant between the ski resorts of Ankogel / Mölltaler Glacier and Lake Millstat, often it is known as the ‘Heart of Carinthia’. Facilities in Kolbnitz include a rafting centre, a riding centre, tennis courts, a small ski area and a swimming pool. Two funicular railway lines leave from Kolbnitz. The first runs up the Reißeck mountain to an altitude of 2236m/7336 ft to walking trails and a hotel, the second leads to the mountain rail station of “”Kreuzeck”” at 1211m/3973 ft, which is the starting point for five different alpine walks with an altitude of up to 2498m/8195 ft.
The cone shaped 966 m (3170 ft) Danielsberg west of Kolbnitz had been a settlement area since the days of the Stone Age. Archaeological artifacts found near the water well at the summit indicate the existence of a Celtic sacred grove and a Roman temple. An Early Christian church dedicaed to prophet Daniel was probably erected about 313.
