Access to starting point:
Over the border crossing Ljubelj we drive to Austria, and after few kilometers we turn left towards the valley Poden / Bodental. Next follows some ascent, and then we get to the settlement Slovenji Plajberk / Windisch Bleiberg, where we park on a parking lot below the church.
Path description:
From the parking lot below the church we continue straight and we quickly get to the inn Gasthaus Kirchenwirt, where the marked path on Žingarica / Singerberg branches off to the right. We continue by the inn on narrower, at first still asphalt road. At the crossroads, we follow the signs for Singerberg and we quickly get to a hamlet with few houses, where we go slightly left and through a smaller stream. Again follows a shorter ascent on the road, and from there we go right in an already known direction and through the panoramic part we pass into the forest. Through the forest, we are ascending and we quickly get to a marked crossing, and we choose a little longer path over saddle Albink / Halbingsattel.
Next follows a steeper ascent, when we ascend above the nearby cliff from its edge a nice view opens up on Karawanks, and the path here turns left and a little higher also crosses a stream.
Before we cross the stream we can on the left notice an entrance into former lead mine, and after the stream the path is for some time still steeply ascending. Higher, we for some time step on the forest road which soon after the left hairpin turn we leave, and then we few times cross it or for a short time, we also stay there. Eventually we go past a mighty larch, and behind it we step out of the forest on a panoramic slope, from which a wonderful view opens up on the main Karawanks with the highest Stol. Here the path for some time turns right in the forest and joins the road which we follow to the left and then we quickly reach the saddle Albink, where there is a marked crossing.
From the saddle, we continue left upwards on an unmarked road (slightly left saddle Vranjica / Orienzasattel, right Žingarica / Singerberg), on which we are for some time moderately ascending, and then the road, from which occasionally views opening up mainly towards the north, flattens. In the last part, we follow the road gentle to its end from where we continue left and in few steps we ascend to the highest point of the peak Rabenberg.
