After the Austrian Anschluss to Nazi Germany, beginning in 1941 the Malta Valley was the site of a labour camp where deported prisoners of war originating from the Soviet Union were forced to work in a granite quarry supplying a Reichsautobahn construction site in nearby Spittal an der Drau (the present-day Tauern Autobahn).
Tamsweg lies at the junction of the Bundesstraßen (federal highways) B95 Turracher Straße from Mauterndorf to Predlitz-Turrach in Styria and the B96 Murtal Straße from Sankt Michael im Lungau and the A 10 Tauern Autobahn (European route E55) to Murau.
