Winklertal - Monte Cecido / Reiterkarspitz (via Winkler Jocb)

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 right. After few 10 meters of additional driving, we come at the marked crossroad, where we continue on the left road in the direction of the summit Hochspitz and mountain pasture Oberalm. This further relatively steep road, we then follow to a smaller parking lot by unmarked crossroad.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road to hut Gartlhütte at an altitude 1600 meters. From the hut, we then continue on the mountain road which leads us through the valley towards the south and brings us near the stream Winkler Bach. For some time we are ascending by the stream and then the road turns to the right and is long time ascending in zig-zags upwards. The road is mostly ascending on grassy slopes, only occasionally brings us in thin forest. On grassy slopes in the summer time also livestock is grazing. Such road we then follow all the way to the mountain pasture Oberalm at an altitude 2160 meters.
From the mountain pasture where ends mountain road we continue on a footpath which at first crosses grassy slopes below the mountain Reiterkarspitz, and then turns to the left and starts ascending towards the saddle Winkler Jocb. Ascent towards the saddle runs on a grassy terrain, and by the path, we will also notice some remains from the first world war.
On the saddle, we continue to the right and we start ascending on the left side of mostly grassy ridge. Ridge then turns to the right and the path brings us on the western slopes of the mountain Cima Salvades 2351 meters. The path here runs towards the north and soon reaches the ridge. After a short ascent on the border ridge path brings us to remains from the first world war. At this spot, where there is also placed a bigger cairn is poorly visible crossing. Here we leave well-beaten footpath which turns left and we continue on a poorly visible, but marked footpath on a ridge. The path then leads us on a ridge past military trenches and fortresses from the first world war. In the last part then follows only a shorter ascent on a grassy ridge to the top.
