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.
