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