Heidi Alm - Mallnock

Access to starting point:
A) Through the Karawanks Tunnel, we drive to Austria, and then continue driving on the Tauern Autobahn, which we leave already on the Villach bypass and continue driving towards the town of Feldkirchen. Further, we drive along Lake Osojsko jezero / Ossiacher See to the already mentioned town. In Feldkirchen, we continue left in the direction of the mountain pass Turacher Höhe and drive ahead past the towns of Himmelberg, Gnesau, Mitterdorf to the town of Wiedweg, where the road from Bad Kleinkirchheim also joins from the left. From the mentioned crossroad, we continue towards the mountain pass Turacher Höhe only a few hundred meters, then signs for the mountain pasture Heidialm and village and lake Falkertsee direct us left onto an ascending road. We follow the mentioned road to its end, where we park on one of the many parking lots.
B) From Styria or Carinthia, we first drive to Dravograd and then across the border crossing Vič into Austria, where we follow the signs for Klagenfurt / Klagenfurt. Further, we drive on the so-called Southern Autobahn, which we leave at Klagenfurt (direction Feldkirchen). Further, we drive on a regional road, by which we arrive at the already mentioned town. In Feldkirchen, we continue right in the direction of the mountain pass Turacher Höhe and drive ahead past the towns of Himmelberg, Gnesau, Mitterdorf to the town of Wiedweg, where the road from Bad Kleinkirchheim also joins from the left. From the mentioned crossroad, we continue towards the mountain pass Turacher Höhe only a few hundred meters, then signs for the mountain pasture Heidialm and village and lake Falkertsee direct us left onto 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 the Hotel Heidi stands. Near the mentioned hotel we notice yellow hiking markers, which across a pasture fence direct us onto a gentle grassy slope, on which we ascend in a few steps to a marked junction.
To the left upwards leads the direct path to Falkert, we continue right following the signs Klomnock, Falkert 1h 15 min. The path then in a gentle ascent crosses the slopes below the cable car and then crosses a stream. Further, the path turns slightly to the left and follows the ascent on the grassy slope all the way to the saddle Hundsfeldscharte between the peaks Falkert and Falkertköpfl.
On the saddle where there is a junction, we continue straight. First we cross the fence, then cross the slopes below the peak Falkertköpfl towards the northwest. From the path, we have a nice view of the nearby Falkert, and in the distance we can also nicely see the Julian and Carnic Alps. When we come near the saddle between the peaks Falkertköpfl and Steinnock, the path turns left and crosses the grassy slope below the peak Steinnock to the saddle Flache Scharte where the slopes become gentler.
On the saddle we continue straight and begin to ascend again. The path soon brings us to a junction with signposts. We continue straight following the signs Klomnock, Mallnock. To the right branches off the path to the hut Prießhütte, to the left to the hut Falkertschutzhaus. After a short ascent we cross the fence and the path brings us again to a junction. We continue left, to the right upwards leads the path to Klomnock.
Further, we walk towards the west and cross mostly grassy slopes below the peak Klomnock. A relatively gentle path brings us below the slopes of Mallnock, where we continue right and a shorter ascent to the summit follows.
