Access to starting point:
Through the Karawanks Tunnel, we drive to Austria, and then we continue driving towards Spittal and further towards Lienz (a little after Spittal the highway ends). Further, we drive on a relatively nice and wide road through the Drau Valley. In the center of Lienz, at the main roundabout, we continue "left" and continue driving towards Italy (exit from the roundabout in the direction of the villages Leisach, Anras, and Silian). In the village Heinfels (the village is located right next to the village Silian) we will notice signs for the Villgratental valley, which point us right onto an ascending road. A little higher in the village Außervillgraten we continue right in the direction of the village Winkeltal. We then follow the mentioned road, which higher up loses its asphalt covering, to the parking lot at the end of the road (the road continues only to the nearby mountain hut).
Path description:
From the parking lot, we follow the signs “Degenhorn” on a cart track which leads along the stream. After a short walk on the cart track, we come to a junction where we turn left onto a footpath. The path starts to ascend past bushes and then brings us near the stream, above which we ascend for some time. From the path there is also a nice view of the surrounding peaks and the nearby waterfall. Next follows the crossing of the stream, then the path turns right and, in the ascent, crosses somewhat steeper slopes. Such a path then brings us to a junction on the saddle Schrentebachboden.
We continue right following the signs “Degenhorn 2h” and first descend a little, then cross swampy terrain along the stream. When we cross the stream, the path turns left and soon starts to ascend quite steeply. The path then ascends on grassy terrain for quite some time and brings us to a path junction.
The path leads straight to Degenhorn, but we continue right following the signs “Falkamsee”. We start ascending on a grassy slope, and the path gradually becomes less visible, but we follow it without problems due to the numerous blazes. The path then turns slightly to the left, later crossing somewhat steeper slopes towards the east. To the Falkamsee lake only a shorter ascent on the grassy slope follows.
