03 Southern Alpine Trail, E18: Thörl-Maglern - Dolinzaalm

Today's destination is the Dolinzaalm with the Starhandhütte, which we will reach in the late afternoon via the eastern foothills of the Carnic Alps. The panoramic trail leads us across gentle alpine pastures (Göriacher and Achomitzer Alm), along this and the other side of the state border, further and further west. The views of the mighty mountain ranges of the Julian Alps make this tour a highlight.
