For the Milk Route along the Carnic High Trail, a "normal" equipment for alpine hikes on unpaved and partly rocky paths in the southern limestone Alps is sufficient. However, sturdy footwear with a good profile sole for unpaved paths 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 enough water are very important (there are not refreshment possibilities on every stage). Adequate warm clothing for possible changes in weather is also important even in midsummer. For all mountain huts along the trail, a hut sleeping bag and a towel must additionally be brought.
Here is the detailed equipment list for your trail journey.
