The Lonely Soul By Raphael

Karnischer Trail - Day 1: Hollbruck-Obstanserseehütte

went by train from Salzburg, it continues to Sillian, the traditional starting place for the Karni's high walk ( good description of the stages on Wikipedia ), which should form the centerpiece of our holiday. The Carnian trail is a wide trail that follows the main ridge of the southeastern Alps. This follows the same boundary between the Italian Friuli and the Austrian provinces of Carinthia and East Tyrol. Since this was a long time, the front line during World War II, with the way the nickname Friedensweg. People meet here again and again to mark the front, especially in the form of remnants of the trenches, protective caves and fortifications.

has also landscaped to offer some of the credit granting services trail. Since he usually runs along the ridge, one has always fantastic views of Lienz and the Dolomites close by, and the alpine ridges of Friuli, the Alps and the Hohe Tauern Großglocknemassiv in somewhat greater distance. The hike is not difficult because of the long stages (usually 7 to 9 hours walking) and yet some significant differences in height you should still be reasonably fit.

Because of the selection our accommodation in Hollbruck (1360 m), we did not rise to the traditional way of Sillian to Sillianer hut. Instead, we chose the path of the tip directly to Hollbruck Obstanserseehütte. So we had to deal with but more altitude, but we "saved" us a day that we used later in the hike to share a very long stage.

Until Hollbruck peak (2580m) at first you only uphill. In the first hours of the day it is all about to come up, given the closeness a thoroughly sweaty affair. After a brief rest on the summit continues, however, we need to get off big, as we have now reached the trail. Until the arrival of the Obstanserseehütte (2304m) is only slightly goes up and down (the highest point of the day with 2665 m of the Iron Reich) on the main ridge. Unfortunately, the good view was partially obscured on the road through the foothills of a storm a little. We also received the only rain (and hail) for the hike, so we were glad when we were brought against 16 clock the long first hiking behind us. For a swim in the very picturesquely situated Obstansersee it was too cold, but the landlord took care later in his hut guests for great joy when he, contrary to his previous assurances of a TV hevorzauberte, so we are not the first World Cup Habfinale escaped.
