Die Karnische Milchstraße - ET06 Untere Valentinalm - Hubertuskapelle bei Birnbaum

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".

Suggerimento

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

Equipaggiamento

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.

Indicazioni

Rugged instead of gentle: into the heart of the Carnic Alps at the famous Wolayer Lake with the hut of the same name past to Birnbaum in the Lesach Valley

From the Lower Valentine's Alp you hike up through the valley to the Upper Valentine's Alp and further along the imposing north faces of Kollinkofel, Kellerspitzen and Hoher Warte to Valentintintörl (2,138 m). Here you descend through a small valley to the nearby Wolayer Lake and the Wolayersee Hut. The original route leads along the northern shore of the lake - but you also have the possibility to circle the lake (additional time 10 min). Enjoy the sublime landscape here: Lake Wolay in the middle of the Carnic Alps is one of the most beautiful and famous motives far and wide.

From the Wolayersee Hut you descend on the path (KHW 403) through the Kar to the Upper Wolayer Alm. Further down, past the Hildenfall, until the valley becomes flatter and you soon reach the Lower Wolayer Alm. From here it is about 25 minutes until you reach the Hubertus Chapel via the forest road through the valley and thus the destination of the Carnic Milky Way. Your shuttle will pick you up at the parking lot and take you to your accommodation in Birnbaum.
