Eisenkappel-Vellach (Slovene ?elezna Kapla-Bela) - usually simply called Eisenkappel - is a market town in the district of Völkermarkt (Slov. Velikovec) 
in Austria, in the province of Carinthia (Slovene: Koroška) with 2194 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2023). Austria's southernmost point is located in the municipality. 
The main town of Bad Eisenkappel is the administrative center of the market town and is the only place in Austria with the dual title of spa and climatic health resort. 
The municipal area extends in the upper Vellachtal valley from the foothills to the main ridge of the eastern Karawanken mountains, close to the border with Slovenia.
Eisenkappel-Vellach has two border crossings to Slovenia, the Seebergsattel (Jezerski vrh) and the Paulitschsattel (Pavli?evo sedlo). 
Eisenkappel owes its name to a chapel first mentioned in 1050.
