- Description
-
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.

The Karnische Höhenweg, for example, can also be divided into 8-11 daily stages; a descent into the valley is possible (almost) at any time. There are plenty of possibilities to stay overnight in managed huts.
Proposal for the daily stages:
1st day: Leckfeldalm - Sillianer hut - Obstansersee hut
2nd day: Obstansersee hut - Filmoor hut - Porzehütte
3rd day: Porzehütte - high white stone house
4th day: High white stone house - Wolayerseehütte
5th day: Wolayerseehütte - Zollnerseehütte
6th day: Zollnerseehütte - Nassfeld (Alpenhof Plattner)
7th day: Nassfeld (Alpenhof Plattner) - Dolinza Alm (Gasthaus Starhand)
8th day: Dolinza Alm (Gasthaus Starhand) - Thörl near Arnoldstein
Of course the Karnische Höhenweg can also be walked in the opposite direction, with the gentler part at the beginning and the high alpine part at the end.

In addition to the conventional course of the Carnic High Trail, challenging summit ascents such as Gr. Kinigat, Filmoorhöhe, Porze, Monte Peralba, Hohe Warte and others can be included (partly on fixed rope routes). We recommend a 2-3 day extension - with additional overnight stays at the Filmoorhütte or the Untere Valentin Alm.
