Piano Fiscalino / Fischleinboden - Croda Fiscalina di Mezzo / Oberbachernspitze

Access to starting point:
From Ljubljana through Karawanks tunnel to Spittal. Next we drive towards Lienz, where at the roundabout, we continue in the direction of village Sillian in Italy. On the italian side of the border, we quickly come to San Candido, where we continue left in the direction of tourist town Sesto / Sexten. Only a little after town Sesto we come in San Giuseppe / Moss, where signs for Val Fiscalina / Fischleintal point us to the right. Further, we drive on an ascending road which we follow to a large payable parking lot.
Free parking lot is approximately 2 km lower, by the bottom station of the cable car "Alta Pusteria".

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue few ten meters on the main road and a little before hotel Dolomitenhof we go right on a narrow road which is closed for traffic. At first still paved with asphalt road soon becomes a macadam. From the road, we then go left on a wide footpath which leads further through a scenic valley. On a gentle path, we then soon reach the mountain hut Talschlusshütte / Rifugio Fondo Valle.
At the mountain hut, we continue right following the signs »Rif. Tre Cime« and »Rif. Comici«. After few minutes of walking on a wide footpath we come again to a marked crossing. At the crossing where there is a magnificent view on the northern wall of the peak Einserkofel / Cima Una (2698m) we continue left on the path 103 where signs point us to the mountain hut Rifugio Comici / Zsigmondy Hütte, and right leads the path towards the mountain hut Rifugio Locatelli / Drei Zinnen Hütte.
Further, the path turns left and runs on a gentle terrain mostly by dwarf pines towards the valley Val Fiscilina Alta. The path then starts ascending in zig-zags and brings us on slopes on the eastern side of the peak Cima Una. Here the path leads high above the valley below the steep walls and all the time runs towards the south. At first, the path few times crosses a slope with thin forest and then it brings us on even steeper slopes. Since the path is wide an ascent doesn't cause problems. In the winter time, when there's a snow the path is dangerous for slipping. In the last part of the path towards the mountain hut a nice view opens up on the precipitous walls of the peak Collerena 2607 meters, then the path turns slightly right and only the last ascent to the mountain hut Comici follows.
From the mountain hut, we continue right towards the west following the signs »Rif. Pian di Cengia« (path 101). The path further is ascending towards the west and increasingly beautiful views opening up on surrounding peaks. Grass and other vegetation by the path becoming rarer and then follows an ascent on a rocky slope to a saddle Passo Fiscalino. Here we will by the path also notice some remains from the first world war. From the saddle, we continue slightly right following the signs »Rif. Pian di Cengia«. The path here becomes less steep and after crossing of steep slopes brings us to the mountain hut Pian di Cengia.
After the ascent towards the summit of Croda Fiscalina di Mezzo we continue on the left side of the mountain hut, namely on a little poorly marked, but still enough visible path. Panoramic path, which is ascending only gently is slowly turning to the right and a little higher brings us to a notch, from which on the left side a nice view opens up into a mighty gully. The path then avoids the ridge to the right and it brings us to military tunnel through which runs mountain path (tunnel is short, so the lamp isn't mandatory but because of the puddle in the tunnel it is recommended). The path ahead starts ascending steeper and after additional 10 minutes of walking, it brings us on the precipitous peak.
