Volkzeinalm - Volkzeinerhütte

Access to starting point:
Through the Karawanks Tunnel, we drive to Austria, and then we continue driving towards Spittal and forward 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, in the main roundabout we continue »left« and we 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 to the right on an ascending road. A little higher in the village Außervillgraten we continue right in the direction of the village Winkeltal. The mentioned road, which higher up loses the asphalt covering, we then follow 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 continue on the road, on which in 2 minutes we ascend to the mountain hut Volkzeinerhütte.

Trip can be extended to: Leisacher Alm (1 h 28 min) , Hochalmspitze (Villgraten) (2 h 43 min)
