Turracher Höhe Pass, Mountain pass in Reichenau, Austria.

Turracher Höhe Pass sits at 1,795 meters elevation between Carinthia and Styria, connecting the Upper Mura valley with the Upper Gurk valley. The landscape combines mountain lakes, coniferous forests, and open meadows in an alpine setting.

Settlement on the pass was late and sparse: until the 20th century there were only isolated farmsteads and lodgings for lumberjacks felling wood for the mines and smelting works at Turrach, and for seasonal miners and stonemasons. Mining below the Turracher Höhe began in the 17th century; a paved road over the summit came later, and a compact village grew only with tourism in the second half of the 20th century.

The village on the pass grew only with tourism in the second half of the 20th century; before that there were just farmsteads and lodgings for lumberjacks, stonemasons and seasonal miners. Two state flags along the former federal road mark the Styria–Carinthia border, and the two halves carry different postal codes (8864 and 9565) but one telephone code, 04275.

The B95 runs along the western shore of Turracher See and stays level for about two kilometres across the pass summit. The pass road from Turrach to Ebene Reichenau is 16 km long; between the B97 junction at Predlitz and the B88 near Patergassen it is 35 km. There is no fuel station or grocery shop on the pass; the nearest shop is in Turrach, about 5 km north.

The village and the Turracher See are split by the Styrian-Carinthian border, with the larger share on the Styrian side. Two state flags along the former federal road are the only visible hint of the boundary; no town signs stand within the village itself.
