Access to starting point:
From Beljak / Villach we drive towards Hermagor and forward towards Lienz, but only to the village Reisach. In the mentioned village, we turn right and the ascending road we follow to boarding house Reißkofel near of which we park.
Path description:
From the mountain hut, we continue on a macadam road following the signs »Reißkofel ü. Hochfleck«. At the right turn, where the road crosses a stream signposts point us to the left in the forest. After that, the path for quite some time runs through the forest and occasionally quite steeply ascends. After that, the path crosses a cart track and through a meadow again brings us into the forest. After a short ascent, we come out of the forest again on a little overgrown cart track on which we then walk all the way to the cottage Gregorihütte.
From the cottage, we continue left on the mountain road following the signs »Reißkofel«. On the road, we are for some time ascending and then signposts point us to the left in the forest. The path through the forest occasionally relatively steeply ascends and then brings us on grassy slopes. After that, the path turns slightly to the right and it brings us to a crossing. We go right, and left runs direct and a little more demanding path on Reißkofel. After that, the path crosses steep slopes below the mountain walls of Reißkofel and on some spots we also get help from steel cables. Slope gradually becomes less steep and the path brings us to a saddle below Kleiner Reißkofel.
On the saddle, we go left following the signs Reißkofel, and right leads the path on Kleiner Reißkofel to which there is only few minutes of walking. From the saddle, we then start ascending steeper and the path becomes also a little more demanding. When we come on the ridge we go left towards the summit Reißkofel. The path on the ridge technically isn't demanding, but the ridge is quite exposed and that is why some caution is needed. A little below the summit from the right side joins also very demanding path from the bivouac. From here follows only a shorter ascent to a panoramic summit.
