Description
The Karnische Höhenweg is about 150 km long from Sillian to Arnoldstein and can be divided into 8-11 daily stages, a descent into the valley is (almost) possible at any time. Overnight stays in managed huts are sufficiently available.

The somewhat longer section east of the Plöckenpass offers a gentle mountain landscape with extensive alpine meadows and easy hiking mountains. West of the Plöckenpass, the more interesting alpine section stretches along the highest peaks of the Carnic Ridge. The alpine long-distance hiking trail leads through a scenically extremely beautiful and varied area.

Directions

to the Egger Alm (overnight accommodation) approx. 4.5 hours
to the Dolinza Alm (Gasthaus Starhand, overnight accommodation) approx. 8 hours
from there descent to Feistritz an der Gail approx. 6,5 hours or via the Achomitzer Alm to Thörl
