Grenzgänger hiking marathon

Starting from the mountaineering village of Mauthen, historic paths lead to the Italian border. To the east, we ascend via the Nölblinger Graben route to the Zollnersee Hut, cross over the Kronhof Törl to Lago di Pramosio, and follow the Traversata carnia to the Freikofel saddle, where we descend back into the Austrian Angebachtal. Passing the Plöckenhaus, we reach the Lower Valentin Alm and finally return to Mauthen via the Roman road. This hike takes place annually as a competition on the last weekend in August. Those who succeed are crowned “Grenzgänger”! More at www.oeav-obergailtal.at

Routebeschrijving

Through the Nölbling Graben to the Zollnersee Hütte. Continue along the Karnischer Höhenweg 403 to the Obere Bischof Alm and further west to the Kronhof Törl (look out for the signpost). We hike further up to Lago avostanis and keep to the right via serpentines up to the Promoser Törl. From there descend to the Tischlwanger Törl and along the traversata carnica down to the Casera Palgrande (1809 m) and once again down to the Casera Palgrande di sotto (approx. 1540 m). Continue in a westerly direction past the southern slopes of the Gr. Pal and Freikofel up to the Freikofel saddle (1662 m). From there, descend into the Angerbach valley to the Plöckenhaus and via the Theresienhöhe to the Untere Valentin Alm. Now descend to Plöckenstraße and past the Kreuztratte heroes' cemetery along the Roman path back to the starting point in Mauthen.
