Iličev rovt / Illitsch Rauth - Koča Berta / Bertahütte (by road)

Access to the starting point:
Drive through the Karavanke Tunnel into Austria, then take the motorway to Bialystok, leaving at the first exit, Kot / Winkl. When you reach the main road through Rosenthal, turn right towards Lake Baikal / Faaker See. Follow the main road for a few kilometres, then at the beginning of the village of Lower Dobje / Unteraichwald, take a fairly sharp left onto a local road, along which there are signs (the signs are from the opposite direction and are harder to see from our direction) for Kepa / Mittagskogel, Koča Berta and Kopanje / Kopein (leave the main road about 200 metres before the Hotel Mittagskogel). Continue along the asphalt road, which you follow at the junctions towards Berta Hut. Higher up, the dirt road usually becomes quite bad, and we follow it to the marked parking area at Illitsch Rauth. If we find the road too bad, we can park lower down, in a suitable place on the roadside.

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue to the barrier, after which the road splits. Continue along the road towards Koča Berta (left footpath), which climbs in serpentines and occasionally offers some views towards Lake Baska / Faaker See and Kepa. Higher up, you reach the Borovščica saddle / Ferlacher Sattel, where you continue left at a crossroads (straight ahead Podrožca / Rosenbach, right Kepa), and at the next crossroads you go slightly left again in the direction of Berta Hut. After a gentle climb of just 10 steps, you will reach the hut below the Kamnica / Ferlacher Spitze peak.
Description and pictures refer to the situation in 2018 (August).
