The Windische height is a pass at 1110 m above sea level. A., which lies on the border between the municipalities of St. Stefan and Paternion in Carinthia.

Here meet together the districts of Villach-Land and Hermagor, making the place even though it consists of only three houses and a church, is divided into two districts. The Windische height is also known by its location on the road link from the Gail Valley in the Drau Valley (Saint Stefan iG - Feistritz an der Drau ). The pass is also often used as a destination; from here can be reached in two to three hours, the summit of Tschekelnock ( 1,892 m).

The term refers to the there running today linguistic boundary between the early Germanized Lower Drau and the still partially Slovene-speaking Lower Gail Valley (see Windische language ).
