Access to the starting point:
Drive through the Karavanke Tunnel into Austria, then continue to Spittal and on to Lienz (the motorway ends a little after Spittal). We continue along a relatively nice and wide road through the Drava Valley. In the centre of Lienz, at the main roundabout, turn left and continue driving towards Itali (exit from the roundabout in the direction of the villages of Leisach, Anras and Silian). In the village of Heinfels (located close to Silian) you will see signs for the Villgratental valley, which will direct you to the right onto the ascending road. A little higher up, in Außervillgraten, continue to the right towards Winkeltal. Follow the road, which loses its asphalt surface higher up, to the parking area at the end of the road (the road continues only as far as the nearby hut).
Path description:
From the parking lot, follow the signs "Degenhorn" to cart track, which leads along the stream. After a short walk along cart track you will reach a crossroads where you turn left onto a footpath. The path begins to climb past bushes and then leads us close to the stream, over which we climb for some time. The path also offers a beautiful view of the surrounding peaks and the nearby waterfall. The path then turns to the right and crosses slightly steeper slopes as it ascends. This path then leads to a crossroads at the Schrentebachboden saddle.
Continue to the right, following the "Degenhorn 2h" signs, and descend a little at first, then cross the marshy terrain by the stream. After crossing the stream, the path turns left and soon starts to climb quite steeply. The path then climbs for some time on grassy terrain and leads to a crossroads. To the right the path leads to Lake Falkamsee, and we continue straight down the valley, descending gently at first. At the end of the valley we start climbing again and turn slightly to the left. A slightly steeper path then leads us to Lake Degenhornsee from where there is also a nice view of the Degenhorn peak.
From the lake, continue to the left and start climbing quite steeply again. The path continues along the ridge, which starts to turn to the right. The ridge becomes less steep for a short time, then the ridge turns slightly more to the right and there is a final climb to the summit.

V soboto po tej poti. Vso pot lahko samo občuduješ, se čudiš, uživaš, povsod same lepote.
Od žuborečih potočkov, slapov, rožic, svetlečih skal,v tem času so na paši tudi konji. Posveti sonce, se pa skale svetijo kot zrnca zlata in srebra, vsaj po grebenu je tako. Ne veš kaj bi bolj občudoval. Vrhnje jezero je pa sploh kot biser, ki te pričaka pod vrhom.Res lepo!
