Parking below Jamnigalm - Greilkopf (via Hagener Hütte)

Access to the starting point:
Drive to Spittal an der Drau and take an exit for Lienz. Follow the regional road via Lendorf, after which drive a few kilometers and then take a right turn in direction Möllbrücke, Mühldorf and Obervellach. Soon after Obervellach turn right in direction Mallnitz. In Mallnitz pass the railway station (with motorail connection with Böckstein via 8370 m long Tauern tunnel) and soon after follow the signs for Jamnigalm or Hagenerhütte and turn left (be vigilant, since there are 15 green signs at this crossroafs). The road leads out of the city until it reaches a toll booth stop where 4 euros need to be paid (data for 2017, important: please note that the booth is unmanned and that only coins are accepted). The road ends after 20-minute-drive with a parking space below the mountain pasture Jamnig.

Path description:
Walk a few meters down the road and take a right turn over the bridge. The winding road takes you to Jamnig pasture in 5 to 10 minutes.

Since the forest ends with the Jamnigalm, the wide path offers excellent views all the way up to the Hagener Hütte. On the left side you can see two prominent mountains, i.e. Feldseekopf and Vorderer Geißlkopf, and Greilkopf on the right side. The winding path leads all the way to the Hagener hut. Five minutes of walk before reaching Hagener Hütte, turn right in direction to Greilkopf.

From here the trail is not marked, yet it is easy to follow. Just follow the ascending ridge first to a subpeak and finally to the summit of Greilkopf. On a clear day, the eastern part of Hohe Tauern can be seen from the top.

On the way: Jamnigalm (1750m), Hagener Hütte (2445m)
