Schiestelscharte - Mallnock (via Klomnock)

Access to starting point:
A) Through the Karawanks Tunnel, we drive to Austria, and then we continue driving on Tauern highway, which we leave already on Villach bypass road and we continue driving towards the settlement Feldkirchen. Further, we drive by lake Osojsko jezero / Ossiacher See to the already mentioned settlement. In Feldkirchen we continue left in the direction of the mountain pass Turacher Höhe and we drive ahead past settlements Himmelberg, Gnesau, Mitterdorf to the settlement Wiedweg, where from the left also the road from Bad Kleinkircheim joins. From the mentioned crossroad, we continue towards the mountain pass Turacher Höhe, and we follow the mentioned road only few kilometers, and then signs for Alpine mountain pass Schiestelscharte or Passhöhe point us to the left on payable high mountain road which we then follow to the parking lot on the already mentioned mountain pass.
B) From Štajerska or Koroška, we at first drive to Dravograd and then over the border crossing Vič into Austria, where we then follow the signs for Celovec / Klagenfurt. Further, we drive on the so-called South highway, which we leave at Klagenfurt (direction Feldkirchen). Further, we drive on a regional road, on which we get to the already mentioned settlement. In Feldkirchen we continue right in the direction of the mountain pass Turacher Höhe and we drive ahead past settlements Himmelberg, Gnesau, Mitterdorf to the settlement Wiedweg, where from the left also the road from Bad Kleinkircheim joins. From the mentioned crossroad, we continue towards the mountain pass Turacher Höhe, and we follow the mentioned road only few kilometers, and then signs for Alpine mountain pass Schiestelscharte or Passhöhe point us to the left on payable high mountain road which we then follow to the parking lot on the already mentioned mountain pass.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on a footpath in the direction of peaks Klomnock and Mallnock and lake Falkertsee. The path already at the very beginning crosses a grazing fence, behind which it starts ascending diagonally on the left side of the mountain. A relatively steep path then leads us on relatively steep slopes, on which we have fixed safety gear for help, which aren't necessary. After the first steep part path passes on moderately steep grassy slopes, on which we are then ascending in a moderate diagonal ascent. A little further, the path again becomes steeper and with the help of steel cables brings us to a crossing a little below the summit.
Here we continue right and on the gentle upper slope of the mountain in few minutes we reach the peak Klomnock.
From the top, we continue towards the west and we start descending on a quite steep ridge. The path then brings us to a memorial with a cross. Further, the slope becomes less steep, and we are still descending on the ridge to a saddle below the summit Malnock. On the saddle, we continue by the fence and on a gentle grassy slope we soon reach the peak.
