Heidi Alm - Falkert (direct way)

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 only for few 100 meters and then signs for mountain pasture Heidialm and village and lake Falkertsee point us to the left on an ascending road. We follow the mentioned road to its end, where we park on one of the many parking lots.
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 only for few 100 meters and then signs for mountain pasture Heidialm and village and lake Falkertsee point us to the left on an ascending road. We follow the mentioned road to its end, where we park on one of the many parking lots.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we walk to the end of the road, where stands hotel Heidi. Near the mentioned hotel we notice yellow signposts, which over a grazing fence point us on a gentle grassy slope, on which we in few steps ascend to a marked crossing.
At the crossing, we continue straight upwards (left lake Falkertsee, right Falkert over saddle Hundsfeldscharte, Klomnock and Mallnock) and we continue on at first moderately steep grassy slope. After few minutes, we get by the edge of the steep slopes, on which with a nice view towards the lake Falkertsee we start ascending steeper. Higher, the path goes away from the lake and an increasingly panoramic path, from which beautiful views opening up on neighbouring Rodresnock and other surrounding peaks, quickly brings us to a smaller side ridge, where the climbing path on Falkert joins.
Here we continue slightly right and after approximately 10 minutes of additional walking, we get to panoramic peak.
