history

Mölltheuer castle ruins

Penk was first mentioned as Pench in a deed of donation in 1234, and the Mölltheuer castle ruins come from the same time . The Catholic parish church, St. Nicholas, is located in the village of Penk . It was built in the 15th century and modified in 1714, 1766 and 1808.

Penk was a separate municipality until 1973, when the municipality of Reißeck was founded as part of a municipality merger in Carinthia ( municipality reform 1973 ) from Penk, Kolbnitz and Mühldorf , which Mühldorf left again in 1992.

Transport and infrastructure

Penk train station

The Danielsberg and Teuchl can be reached from Penk . There is also a Penk stop of the Tauernbahn , below Zwenberg . It can be reached via Gappen or on foot via a path directly from Penk. Today the station is only used by around four trains per working day; with the timetable change in December 2019, these last passenger stops will also be omitted.

There is a primary school in Penk. It is attended by around ten students.

A beautiful hiking route leads into the Zwenberger Tal, but the end of the valley is impassable. The Reißeckhöhenweg only passes the Penker area at a higher altitude (from the mountain station of the Reißeckbahn north-west in the section Zwenberger Scharte - Zwenberger Törl).

In between are Lower Zwenberger Lake ( 2229  m above sea level. A. ) and Upper Zwenberger Lake ( 2501  m above sea level. A. ) and numerous other small cirque lakes .
