Die Karnische Milchstraße - ET02 Egger Alm - Nassfeldpass

The Carnic Alps - an adventurous and fantastic mountain landscape, which is offered to the hiker. Above, ridges of peaks like bizarre limestone reefs that seem to rise directly from an invisible sea, and below, a hidden peaceful world of lush green mountain basins with a magnificent flora and fauna. Right through the middle, the famous Karnische Höhenweg (KHW 403). And right in the middle, the Kasmacher with their cheese cauldrons, in which all the beauty and variety of the landscape is processed into a wonderful and tasty product, the Gailtaler Almkäse. In each cauldron, a world of its own, a different world awaits you.

Each cauldron has its own story, but all cauldrons together are mysteriously connected with their own and common stories: Like the stars on the Milky Way, the alpine pastures are strung together along the Karnischer Höhenweg: The cauldrons, alpine pastures and mountains thus form a special Milky Way, namely the Carnic Milky Way. The picture of the Carnic Milky Way is completed by the "constellations".

Javaslat

On these day hikes you can immerse yourself deeply into the history, nature and culture of the hiked landscape.

Felszerelés

For the Carnic Milky Way, "normal" equipment is sufficient for alpine hikes on unpaved and partly stony paths in the southern limestone Alps. However, sturdy shoes with a good profile sole for unpaved paths are a "must" and the carrying of telescopic hiking sticks to relieve the knees on the sometimes longer descents is recommended. In summer, good sun protection and sufficient water are very important (there are not refreshment stops on every stage). Sufficiently warm clothing for possible weather drops is also important in midsummer. For all the refuges along the trail you should also bring a sleeping bag and a towel.

Over alpine pastures and the proud summit of the Gartnerkofel to the "luxury oasis" at Nassfeld

From the Egger Alm you follow the road out of the valley for a short distance and after about 200 m turn left into a forest road. This road leads you slowly uphill around the Schindelkopf to the Kersnitzensattel and further downhill to a nameless saddle directly on the Austrian-Italian border between Zielkofel and Cima di Mezzo.

The path becomes a hiking trail and you hike on the Italian side first down through a small valley and then slightly uphill below the Zielkofel to the Stutenbodenalm, which is already on Austrian soil again, and then slightly uphill along a forest road and later along a hiking trail to the Garnitzenalm, which is already in the Nassfeld ski area. Continue along the hiking trail uphill to the saddle between Garnitzenberg and Gartnerkofel - until here you are on the marked Karnischen Höhenweg KHW 403.

On the saddle you leave this path for a side trip and ascend via the "constellation" hike "Lighthouse" to the north directly over the gravel cirque to the impressive summit of the Gartnerkofel. Seen from the east it is the first of the rocky peaks of the Carnic Alps - a rugged and imposing Kofel. This is where the more alpine part of the Carnic Alps slowly begins. An absolute speciality, which in its heyday rises out of this landscape like a lighthouse, is the "blue Wulfenia". A real queen of flowers, which probably exists here since the last ice age - she is the main actress of the "constellation lighthouse". The summit is quite dominant, so enjoy the fantastic view from up here!

After a well-deserved rest you descend again on the same way to the top station of the top lift (FIS chairlift) and turn right (north) here. You walk down the hiking trail below the Gartnerkofel and after a striking left turn (straight ahead you would reach the small peak Kammleiten) you reach the managed Watschiger Alm. Even if it's not too far to your stage destination at the Nassfeldpass, a stopover is always worthwhile: the Watschiger Alm is a "Käsealm" with the famous Gailtaler Alm cheese and products from our own production are just the thing after an ascent of the Gartnerkofel.

At the Watschiger Alm you leave the "constellation" hike and hike along the marked Karnischen Höhenweg down to the nearby Nassfeldpass, your stage destination. Attention: If you stay overnight at the Alpenhotel Plattner you don't have to walk to the Nassfeldpass - the hotel is located on the path just below the Watschiger Alm.
