Turracher Höhe called Turracherhöhe, refers to a village, a pass across the Alps, a countryside in the Gurktal Alps in Austria. The village and the Turracher Lake at the pass, which both share the same name, are separated by the border of the two federal states of Styria and Carinthia; because of its distance to early settlement areas and its high location, the region was not settled until late. In the 17th century, mining was started below the Turracherhöhe; the opening up of the top of the pass by a paved road did not occur until later. During the 20th century, the region was developed for tourism. Efforts are being made to maintain the diversity of flora and fauna of the Turracherhöhe by means of landscape conservation areas and careful and nature-oriented extension of the tourist facilities; the Turracherhöhe is situated in the western part of the Gurktal Alps. The area extends from the peaks of the Rinsennock in the west to the Lattersteighöhe in the east. Somewhat farther away are the peaks of Eisenhut, Großer Königstuhl, Gruft.

The highest point of the approx. Two km long pass; the lake is connected to the village. The Turracher Höhe, as a "classic" pass summit, is part of a drainage divide between the Mura valley and the Upper Gurk River, whose source is beneath the Lattersteighöhe at approx. 2,000 m above sea level. The Turracher Road, which goes from Salzburg along the western shore of Turracher Lake, connects the Styrian Upper Mura valley in the north with the Upper Gurk valley in Carinthia, it continues further to Feldkirchen and the basin of Klagenfurt in the south; the road on the pass has a length of 16 km. A total of three municipalities share the region of Turracher Höhe: Styrian Predlitz-Turrach in the north and the Carinthian municipalities of Reichenau and Albeck in the south. There are no direct roads onto the pass summit from Albeck. For a long time, there were only single farmsteads and accommodations for lumberjacks who chopped wood for the mines and smelting works in Turrach, as well as for the seasonal miners and stonemasons, on the Turracher Höhe.

A compact settlement did not develop. Today, the village on the pass summit has around 100 inhabitants, there are more than 400 secondary residences. Like the Turracher Lake, it belongs to the Styrian municipality of Predlitz-Turrach and to the Carinthian municipality of Reichenau; the border of the federal states runs through the middle of the village and the lake. The northern part, which belongs to Styria, has the postal code 8864, the southern part on Carinthian territory has the postal code 9565. Thus, there are formally two villages on Turracher Höhe, where the Styrian part belongs to the district of Turrach in the municipality of Predlitz-Turrach, the village of Turracherhöhe on the Carinthian side is a district of the municipality of Reichenau, but no town signs were installed within the village. Those who are not aware of the division of the village due to administrative politics can only suspect that the border between the two states runs here because of the two state flags along the former federal road.

In the wide saddle of the pass summit, where the road runs horizontally for two kilometres, there are two luxury hotels, a resort belonging to the German trade union IG Bau and over 30 small and medium-sized hotels and guest houses. There are many vacation houses in the southern and western stone pine forest, as well as the eastern side of the lake. However, these houses are predominantly concealed by trees or are situated in hollows, so they stand out from the natural surroundings; the facilities include some shops for athletic items and souvenirs. But there is no grocery gasoline station in Turracher Höhe, for example. For a long time, there was no church or chapel. An ecumenical place of worship was not built at the suggestion of the inhabitants, it is available for all Christian creeds. There is plenty of sunshine during the entire year. Due to the high altitude, there is less cloudiness and fog than in the Drau valley, for example. Thus, the average prevailing temperatures are favorable: the average temperature in January is between -5.9 and -8.2 °C, in July it is between 10.6 and 11.0 °C, the yearly median is 1.9 to 2.2 °C.

By comparison, with a height of 447 m above sea level, is 1300 m lower than Turracher Höhe. Its average temperature in January is -5.8 °C, its average temperature in July is 18.3 °C, its yearly median is 7.7 °C. The precipitation of 1,218 mm is rather low for the mountains. Snowfall starts in October at the latest, a dense blanket of snow forms, which remains until April or sometimes until May. On average, there is snow for 158 days on Turracher Höhe; the name Turrach is derived from the old term, "Durrach", used for a forest, whe
