Parking below Polinikhütte - Ebeneck (Kreuzeck Hohenweg)

Access to starting point:
Through the Karawanks Tunnel, we follow the highway past Beljak to exit towards Lienz, where after Lendorf we turn right towards Obervellach. Here by the gas station, we turn right, after few meters by swimming pool to the left in the center and by the end of a shorter main street once again left into the underpass (670 meters). We follow numerous signs for Polinikhütte: over narrow iron bridge, through tree-lined road, past speed limit 5 km/h and ahead in the forest. Asphalt soon vanishes, steep macadam road after few kilometers ends on a small parking lot by the gate (around 1350 meters). To here we can get also by bus from Obervellacha. One turn before is turn-off towards Wunzenalm, where used to be a cargo cableway for the mountain hut. Cableway is gone, but the footpath is still there.

Path description:
After the gate for we some time walk on the road (on map it has number 328, on terrain there isn't any numbers), we then follow the signs in the forest. The footpath, covered with carpet made of larch and spruce needles, few times crosses a road and brings us on the mountain pasture Stampferalm, where on panoramic spot at an altitude 1873 meters there is romantic mountain hut Polinik. To here 90 minutes. From the mountain hut, we follow the signs (on map path 326) for some time through the forest, then on a wide slopes, vegetated with rhododendron and blueberries. After one hour just before the ruins of a cattle pen footpath branches off on Ebeneck, to which is another half an hour (on map path 329). We continue gently, in a gentle ascent, we cross slopes of higher peaks on the ridge of Mornigkopfe, until we reach the lowest of those peaks, our panoramic summit, on which stands a cross with an inscription book.
