Heidi Alm - Fadenberg

Access to the starting point:
a) Drive through the Karavanke Tunnel into Austria, then continue along the Tur Autobahn, leaving at the Beljaška bypass and continuing on to Feldkirchen. Continue along Lake Ossiach / Ossiacher See to the aforementioned town. In Feldkirchen, turn left towards the Turacher Höhe pass and continue past Himmelberg, Gnesau, Mitterdorf to Wiedweg, where the road from Bad Kleinkircheim joins from the left. From this junction we continue towards the Turacher Höhe pass for a few 100 m, and then the signs for mountain pasture Heidialm and the village and lake Falkertsee direct us to the left onto the ascending road. Follow this road to its end, where you park in one of several car parks.
b) From Styria or Carinthia, first drive to Dravograd and then via Border crossing Vič to Austria, following the signs for Klagenfurt / Klagenfurt. Continue on the so-called Southern Motorway, leaving at Klagenfurt (direction Feldkirchen). Continue along the regional road to reach the aforementioned town. In Feldkirchen, turn right towards the Turacher Höhe pass and continue past Himmelberg, Gnesau and Mitterdorf to Wiedweg, where the road from Bad Kleinkircheim joins from the left. From this junction we continue towards the Turacher Höhe pass for a few 100 m, and then the signs for mountain pasture Heidialm and the village and lake Falkertsee direct us to the left onto the ascending road. Follow this road to its end, where you park in one of several car parks.

Path description:
From the parking lot, follow the path towards the Turacher Höhe pass. The path initially leads gently downhill, where you cross a small stream, and then climb up a slight incline to the Wiethütte hut.
From the hut we continue along the deteriorating road, which we follow in a moderate ascent to where it crosses a pasture fence. At the point where the road crosses the grazing fence, leave it and continue climbing left along the grazing fence. The increasingly scenic 'path' then moves away from the grazing fence and follows an undistinguished ridge to the top station of the Sonnenlift.
From the cable car, continue over a gentle and expansive grassy slope, and in less than 5 minutes' further walking, you will reach the summit of the peak.
