Poludnig (1,999 m)

The Poludnig is a "just under two-thousander" in the Carnic Alps with a magnificent summit view. For example, to the NW to the Großglockner, to the N to the High Tauern, and to the S and SE right into the Julian Alps in Slovenia and Italy.

Prijedlog

If you feel like something especially tasty at the Poludnig Alm, then ask for a Kaiserschmarrn at the alpine inn. Bet you will find it absolutely delicious?

And at the Egger Alm you are then sure to face the delightful dilemma of choosing which cheese to buy…!

Records exist showing that cheese has been produced in the alpine pastures of the Gail Valley since the 13th century. The tradition of cheesemaking has been passed down from generation to generation in the individual families for 700 years. By carefully managing the resources provided by nature, the alpine herders help preserve the beautiful cultural landscape.

So it is also at the Egger Alm, one of 13 member alms in this region that produce the "Gailtaler Alpine cheese g.U." according to a traditional, established method. The "g.U." stands Europe-wide for "Protected Designation of Origin" – you will surely want to convince yourself of the tastiness and authenticity of this product after the eventful mountain tour on the Poludnig.

ROUTE DESCRIPTION (increase):

From the car park on the Egger Alm you can reach the managed Almdorf with 49 objects and the "Heimkehrerkapelle" (chapel for returning home) in a few minutes. From here you turn to SE and walk along a marked forest road in the direction of Schloßhüttensattel (1,453 m). From here, you first climb in the forest, then gradually freer, on the likewise marked western ridge to the summit of Poludnig (1,999 m).

In addition to the tremendous panoramic view, the almost 2,000 m high site also offers an interesting "deep view" back to their starting point - the Egger Alm - and the Poludnig Alm (1,708 m) and the Dellacher Alm (1,362 m), which lies before their shoe tips.

According to official hiking maps, Poludnig missed the two-thousand-meter mark by a ridiculous meter. However, in the summit area you can choose whether you want to take a photo of the summit on Austrian or Italian territory. The borderline of both countries runs right in the proximity of the summit cross.

ROUTE DESCRIPTION (descent):

For the descent, they take the east ridge, so that the "Poludnig crossing" is complete. After about an hour you will reach the huts of Poludnig Alm. From here - starting at the lowest huts - a wide path leads down to the Dellacher Alm.

From here, turn west on the Egger Almstrasse and walk along the Seebach and the Egger Almsee back to your starting point.

Perhaps you would like to spend a few contemplative minutes in the chapel of the returnee on the Egger Alm as a conclusion of the tour:

This chapel was built in memory of the fallen and missing in the Second World War between 1950 and 1952 with the help of many volunteers. But also out of gratitude for the safe return of the soldiers from the Egg area and in honour of Marien, the Queen of Peace. In the meantime, this chapel has not only become a recognized church monument, but should also serve as an encouragement to continue to stand up for peace, freedom and humanity.
