Piano Fiscalino / Fischleinboden - Torre di Toblin / Toblinger Knoten

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 (2698 meters) we continue right on the path 102 where signs point us to the mountain hut Rifugio Locatelli / Drei Zinnen Hütte, and to the left leads the path towards the mountain hut Rifugio Comici / Zsigmondy Hütte.
Further, the path starts ascending a little steeper on the right side of the valley Alteinsteinertal / Valle Sasso Vecchio and mostly runs by dwarf pines. The path then few times gets closer to the stream and also a view starts to open up towards Monte Paterno. When we get closer to a waterfall of the stream Altensteiner Bach, the path turns a little right and starts ascending below the slopes of peaks Punta Slawina Lunga / Langlahn spitze (2770 meters) and Sasso Vecchio / Altsteinspitze (2909 meters). The path brings us out of the dwarf pines and is ascending towards the northwest. Later when the path brings us on less steep grassy slopes, the path turns to the left and past lakes Laghi dei Piani brings us to the hut Locatelli.
From the mountain hut, we continue towards the north past the chapel by which we will notice a signpost, which points us towards the climbing path Via Ferrata Torre di Toblin. After that, the path runs on the right side of the mountain Sasso di Sesto towards the north and is marked with red triangles. Later, the path turns to the left and then follows a short ascent to the saddle between the peaks Sasso di Sesto and Torre di Toblin. On the saddle, we continue a little to the right and we cross slopes below the western wall of the peak Torre di Toblin. The path then brings us on the northern side, where we enter into climbing part of the path.
At the beginning path steeply ascends right upwards by the steel cable. Further, the path runs by steep gully and quite few times vertically ascends on a ladder upwards. Because of usually quite crowded path there is also a great risk of falling stones. Later, the path turns a little to the left and crosses a vertical slope on stemples. Further follows also some vertical ascents on a ladder, and then we soon reach a very panoramic peak.
We descend on a little easier, but still very demanding path, which at first for a short time runs on the south ridge and then descends on the eastern side. Further, we are steeply descending by the steel cable downwards, and by the path, we will also notice some tunnels from the first world war. Steep path then brings us on the scree on the eastern side of the mountain from where we continue right towards the south and we descend to the mountain hut Locatelli.
Because of usually quite crowded path, do not ascend in the reverse direction as described above. Because of this also the path on which we descend in the lower part isn't marked.
