Access to starting point:
From Slovenia, the starting point at the guesthouse Plöckenhaus is reached most quickly through the Karawanks Tunnel, where at Beljak one turns towards the town of Hermagor and continues on the regional road to Kötschach, just before which one turns left towards the Plöckenpass / Passo di Monte Croce pass. Follow the road to the parking lot at the Plöckenhaus hut.
Alternative access from the Italian side. From Trbiž/Tarvisio on the motorway towards Udine/Vidm. At the town of Carnico, take the motorway exit and first follow signs towards Tolmezzo, then towards Austria and the Pso di Croce Carnico / Plöckenpass pass. Drive over the pass to the Austrian side to the parking lot at the Plöckenhaus hut.
Path description:
The hike starts at the parking lot opposite the Plöckenhaus guesthouse. From the parking lot to Green Lake leads a gravel road, which locally turns into a cart track. The trail is marked with number 403. To the lake it is 10 minutes of walking (15 minutes to the eastern shore).
Behind the lake, a trail branches off to the left, which turns into the steep slopes towards the pasture Untere Spielboden. Along the steep trail uphill among the trees, views of the valley rarely open up.
The trail then climbs onto a gravel road or better cart track, which one follows to the right. The cart track is followed towards the east, then the trail branches off again to the left into the forest. We follow the trail to the Untere Spielbodenalm pasture, on which a shelter stands.
Behind the shelter, the trail climbs through the forest and reaches a narrow forest road, along which one continues straight towards the east. After a few turns along the road, a wider footpath branches off to the left. We continue along the footpath and soon reach the forest boundary.
Beyond the forest boundary begin the pastures of the larger Obere Spielbodenalm pasture. To the shelter on the pasture it is still a few minutes of walking.
