Wiesser Alm - Mirnock (Path 184)

Access to starting point:
A) Through the Karawanks Tunnel, we drive into Austria, then continue on the Tauern highway, which we leave at the Villach bypass and continue towards the settlements Treffen am Ossiacher See and Afritz am See. At the end of the settlement Afrizt am See just before the lake Afritzer See we turn left, where signs for Afritzer See and Weisser Alm indicate the way. We drive on the main road through the settlement Liezberg all the way to the gate, where we pay with coins for the use of the mountain road Liezberger Straβe. After approximately 9 km of macadam road we arrive at a smaller parking lot on the mountain pasture Weisser Alm.
B) From Štajerska or Koroška, we first drive to Dravograd and then over the border crossing Vič into Austria, where we follow the signs for Celovec / Klagenfurt and further to Beljak (Villach). We continue on the Tauern highway, which we leave at the Villach bypass and continue towards the settlements Treffen am Ossiacher See and Afritz am See. At the end of the settlement Afrizt am See just before the lake Afritzer See we turn left, where signs for Afritzer See and Weisser Alm indicate the way. We drive on the main road through the settlement Liezberg all the way to the gate, where we pay with coins for the use of the mountain road Liezberger Straβe. After approximately 9 km of macadam road we arrive at a smaller parking lot on the mountain pasture Weisser Alm.

Path description:
A little further from the parking lot on the mountain pasture Weisser Alm we come to a junction where we continue straight ahead following the signs for Mirnock on path 184, while to the left the path leads over Rindernock. The path rises slightly and soon we reach signs for Mirnock and Hochalmhütte, which take us left on a slightly steeper trail. The trail flattens a few times and then becomes steeper again. Just before the end of the forest edge we come to another junction, where we follow the sign for Mirnock or trail 184, which rises somewhat more steeply from the forest edge. Here in early autumn we can treat ourselves to blueberries. Soon the slope becomes grassy and ahead of us we see the summit where a cross stands. We ascend the trail on the grassy slope, where path 185 joins just below the summit. We turn left and after some 10 m we are at the summit. This very panoramic summit can be left via a circular path that also passes by the summit Rindernock. If we opt for the circular path, we descend to the starting point on trail 183, which is quite similar to the previously described path 184.
