Schiestelscharte - Steinnock (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, the 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 left (right Klomnock 1 minute) in the direction of the summit Falkert and lake Falkertsee. The path ahead is descending on a panoramic grassy ridge and then it flattens and it brings us to the spot, where from the right side joins the path from Mallnock (path, which on the south side bypasses Klomnock). Only a little further, we cross a grazing fence and we are already at the next signsposts.
We continue in an already known direction towards the summit Falkert, on the path which passes on slopes of the peak Steinnock, from where we have a nice view towards the nearby Falkert, and in the distance are nicely visible also Julian and Carnic Alps.
Here on slopes of the peak Steinnock, on an appropriate place we leave the marked path and we continue the ascent left on a grassy slope. We continue on easier pathless terrain, or if we left the marked path on the most appropriate spot, then it is a worse footpath, from where a short ascent follows to a panoramic summit.
