Windische Hohe - Kobesnock

Access to starting point:
Over the border crossing Korensko sedlo, or from Beljak/Villach (to here through Karawanks Tunnel) we drive to the settlement Podklošter/Arnoldstein. We follow the road ahead in the direction of the settlement Šmohor/Hermagor, but only to a spot, where the road towards Venetski hrib/Windische Hohe branches off to the right upward. An ascending road soon brings us in the mentioned village, where we park on a large marked parking lot.

Path description:
At the end of the parking lot, we will notice signposts, which point us to the left on a cart track which is moderately ascending through the forest. After few minutes of easy walking cart track turns into a footpath which for a short time steeply ascends. Further path returns on a cart track which higher crosses a forest road. And only a little ahead path brings us on the next road which we follow to a larger meadow, where it ends. We continue straight on a marked path, which through a dense spruce forest brings us to a wooden cottage by the path. We continue on the road which soon brings us to a crossroad, where we continue left. The road then quickly brings us on a larger clearing, where we continue on the bottom path, which almost circles a peak on our left. This road which has higher a marked shortcut we follow to the mountain pasture Wertschacher Alm.
From the mountain pasture, we continue in the direction of Kobesnock on a moderately steep grassy slope. Panoramic path after a short ascent, it brings us on the upper part of the mountain pasture, where continues on an indistinct ridge to an indistinct small saddle. Here the path turns slightly left and goes into the forest, where it starts ascending steeper. After 20 minutes of ascent, the path brings us on the main ridge, where at first we step on a secondary peak, from which a view opens up towards the summit. Next follows shorter, slightly exposed descent, after that 5 minutes ascent to panoramic Kobesnock.
