Freikofel and Kleine Pal RW_N60

The historically and scenically extremely rewarding circular hike to the Kleine Pal and the summit of the Freikofel illustrates the strong contrast between idyll and suffering.

Suggestie

It is worth bringing a headlamp to explore the countless tunnels that soldiers drove into the mountain during the hike.
The described return path leads through Italy - therefore carrying an ID is mandatory.
In the town hall of Kötschach-Mauthen, on around 600m², is the Museum 1915-1918 of the Dolomite Friends, which is an extremely interesting addition to the open-air museum.
There are several ascent and descent variations leading to the Kleine Pal - the description and the track explain the variant - ascent via Freikofelscharte, including Freikofel, return to Freikofelscharte - ascent Kleine Pal and return via the Alpini Steig (Italian side)
- a shorter but steeper descent option is also offered by the descent of RW_N61
- Detailed information about the different options can also be found in the book "Das Freilichtmuseum Plöckenpass" - also available in the Museum 1915-1918 in the Kötschach-Mauthen town hall
