Heidi Alm - Falkert (direct way)

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, walk to the end of the road where the Hotel Heidi is located. Near the hotel, you will see yellow mountain signs, which direct you over a grazing fence to a grassy slope, which you can climb in a few steps to a marked crossroads.
At the crossroads, continue straight up (lake Falkertsee on the left, Falkert on the right via saddles Hundsfeldscharte, Klomnock and Mallnock) and continue the ascent up the initially moderately steep grassy slope. After a few minutes, you reach the edge of the steep slopes, which, with a good view of Lake Falkertsee, start to climb steeper and steeper. The higher the path moves away from the lake, however, the increasingly scenic path, which offers beautiful views of the neighbouring Rodresnock and other surrounding peaks, quickly leads us to a small side ridge where we join the climbing route to Falkert.
Here you continue slightly to the right and after about 10 minutes of further walking you arrive at the summit.
