Heidi Alm - Steinnock

Access to starting point:
A) Through the Karawanks Tunnel, we drive to Austria, and then we continue driving on the Tauern highway, which we leave already at the Villach bypass and continue driving 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 ahead past the towns Himmelberg, Gnesau, Mitterdorf to the town 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 Štajerska or Koroška, we 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, 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 Himmelberg, Gnesau, Mitterdorf to the town 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 signposts, which direct us across the pasture fence 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 15min. The path then in a gentle ascent crosses slopes below the cableway and then crosses a stream. Further, the path turns slightly to the left and follows the ascent on a grassy slope all the way to the notch Hundsfeldscharte between the peaks Falkert and Falkertköpfl.

On the notch where there is a junction we continue straight. First we cross the fence, then we cross slopes below the peak Falkertköpfl towards the northwest. From the path, we have a nice view of the nearby Falkert, and in the distance the Julian and Carnic Alps are also nicely visible. When we come near the saddle between the peaks Falkertköpfl and Steinnock, we leave the marked path and head onto an unmarked trail, which leads along the fence on the ridge. Later we cross the fence and a short ascent follows to the panoramic summit.
