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 only for few 100 meters and then signs for mountain pasture Heidialm and village and lake Falkertsee point us to the left on an ascending road. We follow the mentioned road to its end, where we park on one of the many parking lots.
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.

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 only for few 100 meters and then signs for mountain pasture Heidialm and village and lake Falkertsee point us to the left on an ascending road. We follow the mentioned road to its end, where we park on one of the many parking lots.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we walk to the end of the road, where stands hotel Heidi. Near the mentioned hotel we notice yellow signposts, which over a grazing fence point us on a gentle grassy slope, on which we in few steps ascend to a marked crossing.
To the left upwards leads the direct path on Falkert, and we continue right following the signs Klomnock, Falkert 1h 15 min. The path then in a gentle ascent crosses slopes below the cableway and then it crosses a stream. Further, the path turns slightly to the left and then follows an ascent on a grassy slope all the way to the notch Hundsfeldscharte between the peaks Falkert and Falkertköpfl.
On the notch where there is a crossing, we continue straight. At first, we cross the fence and then we cross slopes below Falkertköpfl towards the northwest. From the path, we have a nice view towards the nearby Falkert, and in the distance we can see also Julian and Carnic Alps. When we come near the saddle between the peaks Falkertköpfl and Steinnock, the path turns to the left and crosses a grassy slope below the summit Steinnock to the saddle Flache Scharte where the slopes become less steep.
On the saddle, we continue straight and we again start ascending. The path soon brings us to a crossing with signposts. We continue straight following the signs Klomnock, Mallnock. The path branches off to the right towards the mountain hut Prießhutte, and left towards the mountain hut Falkertschutzhaus. After a short ascent, we cross the fence and the path again brings us to a crossing. We continue left, and right upwards leads the path on Klomnock.
Further, we walk towards the west and we cross mostly grassy slopes below Klomnock. A relatively gentle path brings us below the slopes of Mallnock, where we continue right and then follows a shorter ascent to the top.
