Access to starting point:
A) Through the Karawanks Tunnel, we drive to Austria, then continue on the Tauern motorway, which we leave at the Villach bypass and continue towards the town of Feldkirchen. Further, we drive along 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 past the towns of Himmelberg, Gnesau, Mitterdorf to the town of Wiedweg, where the road from Bad Kleinkirchheim joins from the left. From the mentioned junction, we continue towards the mountain pass Turacher Höhe for 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 Štajerska or Koroška, we first drive to Dravograd and then across the border crossing Vič into Austria, where we follow signs for Celovec / Klagenfurt. Further, we drive on the so-called Southern motorway, which we leave at Celovec (direction Feldkirchen). Further, we drive on the regional road by which we arrive in the already mentioned town. In Feldkirchen, we continue right in the direction of the mountain pass Turacher Höhe and drive past the towns of Himmelberg, Gnesau, Mitterdorf to the town of Wiedweg, where the road from Bad Kleinkirchheim joins from the left. From the mentioned junction, we continue towards the mountain pass Turacher Höhe for 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 head in the direction of the Heidi-Alm park, to which we have 130 m. After 130 m, a path branches off to the left to the mentioned park (entrance fee required to view the park), but we continue straight ahead and continue the path along the road, which quickly brings us to the high mountain lake Falkertsee.
From the lake, which we bypass on the left side, the path begins to ascend moderately and continues along an increasingly poor road. A little higher, we arrive at a marked junction, where we continue left in the direction of the peak Rodresnock (straight to saddle Falkertscharte, Rodresnock and Falkert over the mentioned saddle and the climbing path to Falkert). The path ahead first crosses gentle slopes to the left, then transitions to the steep slopes of Rodresnock, where it begins to ascend steeply. With nice views of lake Falkertsee and the eponymous village, we ascend one level higher, where the path flattens and turns right and quickly reaches a panoramic and unvegetated ridge. Further, we ascend on and along the ridge, which to the left is spacious and grassy, to the right steeply descending towards the cirque between Rodresnock and the peak Falkert. Occasionally steeper ridge path, from which beautiful views open up reaching all the way to the Slovenian mountains, then flattens and brings us to a poorly marked junction, where to the left downward branches a marked but less trodden path leading to the nearby Schwarzkofel and further towards the valley. Here we continue straight and after less than 5 minutes of further walking arrive at the spacious and panoramic summit.
