Access to starting point:
Through the Karawanks Tunnel, we drive to Austria, then we continue driving towards Spittal and further towards Lienz (a little after Spittal the highway ends). Further, we drive on a relatively nice and wide road through the Drau valley. In the center of Lienz, at the main roundabout we continue »left« and continue driving towards Italy (exit from the roundabout in the direction of the villages Leisach, Anras and Silian). Soon after the village Leisach, we will notice signposts on the left side of the road, which direct us to a narrow wooden bridge over the river Drau (direction Kerschbaumer Alm, Klammbrückl). The road narrows a little after the bridge and starts ascending steeply. We follow the mentioned road to the parking lot at Klammbrückl.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road which is closed to traffic. Already after a few dozen meters, we come to a junction where we continue right following the signs »Kerschbaumer Alm«. Further, we can follow the mountain road all the way or direct ourselves to the footpath which runs through the forest and later several times for a short time joins the mountain road.
When the road ends we continue on the footpath which starts ascending on the right side of the valley. The path through a sparse forest brings us to somewhat steeper slopes and then to the vantage point from where we can nicely see the waterfall Klapffall. Then the path turns slightly to the left and approaches the mountain stream. Next follows an ascent along 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 junction we continue right following the signs »Hallebachtörl, Spitzkofel«. The path further runs towards the southwest and ascends on grassy slopes along a sparse larch forest. After approximately 20 minutes of walking from the mountain hut, the path brings us to another marked junction.
Here we continue slightly left following the signs »Weittalspitze«, to the right the path leads towards the saddle Hallebachtörl and summit Spitzkofel. From the junction, the path runs through a grassy little valley still in the direction towards the southwest. The footpath is here somewhat less trodden so we must pay somewhat more attention to the markings along the path. Then the path from the grassy slopes turns sharply left and starts ascending on the scree. Further, we then ascend quite steeply through a wide gully, on the path there is quite a lot of scree which somewhat hinders the ascent. When we come out of the gully the slope becomes less steep and soon we are on the saddle Weittalsattel between the peaks Weittalspitze and Eisenschuß. From the saddle where a view opens towards the south we then continue slightly left and there follows the final ascent on the summit slope of the mountain to the top. Also here we mostly ascend on scree.
