Nassfeld - Javornik / Auernig

Access to starting point:
Over a border crossing in Rateče we drive through Trbiž / Tarvisio, Ukve / Ugovizzo to the settlement Tablja / Pontebba, where we turn right following the signs »Passo di Pramollo / Nassfeld« (Slovenian Mokrine). On the mountain pass, we drive past the lake on the Austrian side, where we park on a large parking lot.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we walk to the border crossing where, on the Austrian side, we turn left onto a narrower ascending asphalt road. At the beginning of the mentioned road, there are also signposts. The road then leads us past a memorial chapel and crosses a fence. The road then flattens and brings us to a marked crossing.
We continue right onto a footpath where the signs for the Auernig Höhenweg also direct us. From the crossing, we start ascending more steeply on a slope covered with grass and some bushes. The path also leads us through a strip of sparse forest. Trees become increasingly sparse, and from the path, beautiful views open up on the surrounding peaks. The path then brings us to a marked crossing where a path from the Plattner cottage joins from the left.
We continue right and ascend on a slope covered with grass and sparse trees. After a short ascent, the path brings us to a bench from where there is a very beautiful view of the surrounding peaks above Mokrine. The path here turns slightly to the right and then leads us through dwarf pines, bringing us to a marked crossing below the summit Auernig (Javornik).
We continue right and, after a short ascent alongside dwarf pines, we reach the panoramic peak.
