Raabtal - Mitterkarhütte

Access to starting point:
Over the border crossing Korensko sedlo we descend in Austria, and there in first larger crossroad we continue left in the direction of village Podklošter / Arnoldstein. In the mentioned village, we will get to a roundabout, where we continue right in the direction of "Hermagor". Further, we drive on a wide road which leads us through the valley Gailtal. At the settlement Mauthen we continue left in the direction of the mountain pass Plöckenpass, and after few 100 meters right in the direction of valley Lesachtal. Further, we drive on narrower and quite winding road which we follow to the village Untertilliach. Only a little after the mentioned village (at the second bus stop) left downwards at first still asphalt road branches off. The road then crosses a bridge, after which from the left side joins wide macadam road. We continue straight for approximately 50 meters and then we come to the next unmarked crossroad, where we continue left on a little worse forest road which we then follow to the sharp right turn by which there is a sign that is prohibiting additional driving.

Path description:
At the turn, we leave the road and we continue left on at first well visible gentle marked mountain path. The path goes already after few minutes in thin lane of a forest, where in relatively short time bypasses three hunting observatories. After third observatory path turns slightly to the right and it starts vanishing among high grass. Only a little further, the path crosses mountain stream, after which passes into the most overgrown part of the path. The path ahead gets over a lane of very high grass, and then continues on the old and quite overgrown mule track. This moderately steep path, by which in the summer time we notice numerous blueberries, we follow all the way to bivouac Mitterkarhütte.

Trip can be extended to: Steinkarspitz/Monte Antola (1 h 30 min) , Monte Vancomun / Hochspitz (2 h)
