For the Milky Way on the Karnischer Höhenweg, a "normal" equipment for alpine hikes on unpaved and partly rocky paths in the southern Limestone Alps is sufficient. Sturdy footwear with a good tread sole for unpaved trails is, however, a "must" and the use of telescopic trekking poles to relieve the knees during the sometimes longer descents is recommended. In summer, good sun protection and sufficient water are very important (there are not refreshment opportunities on every stage). Enough warm clothing for possible weather changes is also important, even in high summer. For all the mountain huts along the trail, a hut sleeping bag and a towel must also be brought.
Here you can find the detailed equipment list for your trail trip.
