Dobratsch

Print
Tadej26. 01. 2008 16:21:37
Today I drove over Korensko sedlo to Beljak and then on the bypass towards Spittal to Judendorf settlement, where there are signs for Beljaško alpsko cesto (Villacher Alpenstrasse). The road is clear all the way to the starting point at 1732m, where there's also a large arranged parking lot.
I continued on the snowy mountain road towards Dobratsch summit. The road to the hut (Ludwig Walter Hütte) is groomed so the path is nicely passable and suitable for families with kids.
At the top wonderful view from Kamnik-Savinja Alps, Karawanks, Julian Alps, Carnic Alps and Gailtal Alps to High Tauern.

On Sunday I was up there. Road clear to the parking lot, path to the top trampled. At the top I felt like at home, since there were lots of Slovenes. Cheers

The hut they completely demolished in summer and now newly built with new technology, I was up end of November in real snow storm (visibility max. 10 meters), they plan to open before end of December, at least I'll say when they tell me news.

In the latest OEAV magazine there was a tender for warden for this hut. So I doubt there'll be anything this winter. But condition in tender was that hut must be open in winter.

The hut is open from 21 December onwards non-stop. It's no longer named the old way, but now Dobratsch hutte. The hut is very modern, offer super, soup and tea cost around 8€. Also served by a blond chick, who said: are you Slovenes, then we can do ours ?!

Yesterday I was up there. Austrians had anniversary of landslide/earthquake, almost a holiday and people like on Šmarna gora. Snow ca. half a meter. Asphalt road clear to the last parking lot, path to the top trampled. Suitable for walkers, ski tourers and snowshoers, only summit ridge behind German church a bit icy. New hut below it open and full. Track of the 2003 abandoned ski slope was groomed, last week it got some cm of powder on the base. Skied to parking in the valley. Views phenomenal, camera though mrk pogled at home.

Today it was nice on this -by far the easiest accessible 2-thousander around. Tower really attractive.
Otherwise - mecca for ski touring..
Hut or its modern look reminds more of a railway station than a mountain hut.
Villacher Alpenstrasse really not payable now (thank god). Well arranged..
Otherwise Dobratsch has "mountain" status - more due to altitude than anything else. Actually a tourist destination,...which is interesting, special due to arrangement, ok, etc...
Views very pleasant!
Skiers and hikers in all kinds of footwear - plenty.
Day was -nice. To Dobratsch: probably again..
Lp!

On Saturday 23.4.2011 - circular tour to Dobratsch.
Route Korensko sedlo-Podklošter(Arnoldstein)-Čajna(Notsch)- Čače(Saak). We cross the railway track and the Gail river. Through the village Čače and at the end of the village turn left onto the asphalt road, also intended for cyclists and runs along the Gail river (river on our right). After 2.5km straight drive, we park on the gravel road limited by a barrier on the left side right next to the asphalt road. Up the gravel 1km, then a red arrow on the tree, larger cairn and red-white-red marking directs us right. Well marked, wonderfully routed, forest, safe, scenic path brings us to the summit ridge of Dobratsch. On the ridge just a walk among low pines to the top. From vehicle to top 4 hours.
Return classically along the gravel road to the larger parking lot. Only here along the road - occasionally shorten bends by crossing through the forest to the ALPENGARDEN park attraction.
The park is on our right side along the main road for 1km length. Runs above the precipitous Red cliff, well secured with fence on both sides worth seeing. At the end of the park
right next to the main road the sign-mark-Arnoldstein directs us right. Well visible excellently marked forest path safely leads us to the log cabin-inn right next to the asphalt cycle path in the valley. Right behind the inn turn right and along the asphalt road by the Gail river (now on our left side) after 2.5km we reach the vehicle and start of our path. Circle is closed. From top to vehicle
we walk 3 hours.

I did this "hunter's path" 3 times in recent years always in the heat (July or August, on 15 August they have a party-celebrate St. Mary- mass, choir and then party on the meadow near the hut) from the barrier to the hut and recommend to everyone (but who would think that between the rocks-if you look from Arnoldstein- there runs a safe route to the top; rs756 nice pictures and congrats on the circular tour); this year I will lead a tour of the CAI-ASCA-FJK section end of September and we will do a traverse: barrier-summit-Bad Bleiberg and then ... last stage as in picture "rs756" no.18.

alessio! I'm searching and searching for a more detailed map of marked paths or hunter's paths and accesses to them for the entire Dobratsch massif. Circular variants or up-down. I don't know where else to look and search. If you can help, thanks a lot. Possible that GPS tracks exist.

In the guide from Sidarta publishing house "The most beautiful ski touring descents of Austrian Carinthia" there is also a description of Dobratsch, especially the great addition is the travel map which has technical descriptions of the tours.
