Iličev rovt / Illitsch Rauth - Kamnica (Komnica) / Ferlacher Spitze

Access to starting point:
Through the Karawanks Tunnel, we drive to Austria, and then we drive on a highway towards towards Beljak, which we leave at the first exit Kot / Winkl. When we reach the main road through Rož / Rosental, we continue right in the direction of the lake Baško jezero / Faaker See. On the main road we drive for few kilometers, and then at the beginning of the settlement Spodnje Dobje / Unteraichwald, we continue quite sharply left on the local road, by which there are signs (signs are from the opposite direction and are harder to notice from our side) for Kepa / Mittagskogel, Koča Berta / Bertahütte and Kopanje / Kopein (we leave the main road about 200 meters before Hotel Mittagskogel). Further, we at first still drive on an asphalt road which at the crossroads we follow in the direction of hut Koča Berta. Higher the macadam road becomes quite bad, and we are driving there to the marked parking lot in Iličev rovt / Illitsch Rauth. If the road is too bad, we can park already lower, on an appropriate place by the road.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue to the gate, and behind it, the path splits. We choose the left path, which goes into the forest (straight path on the road) and gradually starts ascending steeply. Soon from the left joins the path from a lower starting point, and we continue the ascent. Higher, we twice for some time step on the road, and then we continue on a footpath towards hut Koča Berta. Further, the path turns a little to the right and it is gradually becoming less steep. When we step out of the forest, in front of us we already notice hut Koča Berta, to which we have only a short walk.
From the hut, we continue in the direction of Kamnica and we quite quickly start quite steeply ascending, mostly through the forest. Higher, the path for some time flattens, and then again becomes steep, and occasionally a view opens up a little on Kepa and Julian Alps. A little below the summit, the path once again flattens, or for few steps even descends, and then we quickly get to a panoramic peak.
