The Kartitscher Sattel is a valley watershed in the Tyrolean Gailtal in East Tyrol at an altitude of 1525 m above sea level. A. It lies between the Carnic Alps in the south and the Lienz Dolomites in the north. On the eastern side is Obertilliach , on the western side, on the Gailbach , the eponymous Kartitsch . The Gailbach, which flows west, and the Gail, which flows east, arise on the saddle only around 150 m apart .
The saddle is accessed via Gailtalstraße (B111). Its importance is regional. The Plöckenpass connects to the south, Nassfeld and Südautobahn a little further away . To the north, most of East Tyrol opens up, to continue driving through the Felbertauern and over the Toblacher Feld . The next bypass is the Gailbergsattel .
