Bad Bleiberg - Traningerwand (BGV Klettersteig)

Access to the starting point:
Cross the Korensko sedlo border crossing and descend into Austria, and when you reach the main road Trbiz / Tarvisio - Bialjak / Villach, continue left towards Trbiz. Follow the main road to Ziljica / Gailitz, and at the roundabout turn onto the road to Šmohor / Hermagor. From the roundabout, follow the road to Schmohor for about 11 km, then follow the signs for Plajberk near Bialek / Bad Bleiberg to the left. Continue through the underpass and the road leads to the centre of Cajna / Nötsch im Gailtal, from where you continue to Plajberk near Bialek. We continue along an ascending road, which quickly takes us past a quarry to Bleiberg Kreuth, and we drive on for a few kilometres to Plajberk near Belzec / Bad Bleiberg.
About 100m before the spa, turn left off the main road onto the ascending road and follow the signs for Hotel Klom. Park near the hotel.

Path description:
Take the forest road and follow the signs "Mittagsnock - Hachelnock". After about 10 minutes' walk along the road, you will come to a crossroads where a red sign (zum Klettergarten) directs you to the right into the woods. A narrow lane climbs up and quickly leads to a crossroads. Continue slightly to the left, following the red and white markings (yellow and red markings to the right) and the path quickly leads to another crossroads. Continue left again, and to the right the path leads to an extremely difficult climbing route (Extrem Klettersteig). Continue climbing through the forest and the path soon leads to the first ropes. After a short climb with the help of a few ropes, the path leads to a crossroads. Continue right on the protected climbing route called BGV Klettersteig (Bergmännischer Gesangsverein). Take the left-hand path and return, as it is a circular climbing route. The climbing route crosses the wall to the right at the beginning (difficulty A/B). In a few places, the slightly exposed route leads to a ladder, where a more difficult route joins from the right.
The ascent over the overhanging ladder is the most difficult part of the route and is rated C.
Above the ladder the path turns left and crosses the slopes above the wall to the left. The path is not difficult in this part, only slightly exposed in a few places. There is a slightly steeper descent (difficulty B), then the fixed safety gear ends and the path soon leads below the wall.
