Weißenbach - Bodenalm

Access to the starting point:
A small village Weißenbach (postal no. 9714) in Austrian state of Carinthia is a starting point. To get there, leave the highway section Villach - Spittal an der Drau at exit Paternion. After that there are two options. First, via Stockenboi and then after a few kilometers follow the sign Farchtensee and turn left (right or straight is a lake Weißensee), drive a few minutes more and park. Second option is via Kreuzen and lake Farhtensee to the starting point. The starting point is recognized by a small crossroad with many sings in plain sight (e.g. Fischeralm, Bodenalm, Jausenstation). Park by the road on the other side from the signs and a few meters down the road.
