Access to starting point:
Through the Karawanks Tunnel, we drive to Austria, and then we continue driving towards Spittal and forward towards Lienz (a little after Spittal highway ends). Further, we drive on a relatively nice and wide road through Drau valley. In the center of Lienz, in main roundabout we continue »left« and we continue driving towards Italy (exit from the roundabout in the direction of village Leisach, Anras and Silian). Soon behind the village Leisach, we will on the left side of the road notice signposts, which point us on narrow wooden bridge over the river Drau (direction Kerschbaumer Alm, Klammbrückl). The road only a little after the bridge narrows and starts ascending steeply. The mentioned road, we follow to the parking lot at Klammbrückl.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road which is closed for traffic. Already after few ten meters, we come to a crossroad where we continue right following the signs »Kerschbaumer Alm«. Further, we can all the time follow mountain road or we go on a footpath which runs through the forest and later few times for a short time joins the mountain road.
When the road ends we continue on a footpath which starts ascending on the right side of the valley. The path through a thin forest brings us on little steeper slopes and then to the vantage point from where we can nicely see the waterfall Klapffall. After that, the path turns slightly to the left and gets close to mountain stream. Next follows an ascent by the stream and then the path brings us to the mountain pasture Kerschbaumer Alm. The path here runs on the left side of the mountain pasture and then follows only a short ascent on a grassy slope past rare trees to the mountain hut Schutzhaus.
At the mountain hut where there is a marked crossing we continue right following the signs »Hallebachtörl, Spitzkofel«. The path further runs towards the southwest and is ascending on grassy slopes by rare larch forest. After approximately 20 minutes of walking from the mountain hut path brings us to another marked crossing.
Here we continue slightly left following the signs »Weittalspitze«, right leads the path towards the saddle Hallebachtörl and summit Spitzkofel. From the crossing, the path runs through a grassy valley still in the direction towards the southwest. The footpath is here a little worse beaten so we have to pay attention to blazes by the path. After that, the path from grassy slopes turns sharply left and starts ascending on the scree. Further, we are then quite steeply ascending through wide gully, and on the path, there is quite a lot of gravel which makes the ascent a little more difficult. When we come from the gully the slope becomes less steep and we are soon on a saddle Weittalsattel between the peaks Weittalspitze and Eisenschuß. From the saddle where a view opens up towards the south we then continue slightly left and follows an ascent on the upper slope of the mountain to the top. Here we are mostly ascending on the scree as well.
