Ascent from Weidenburg to the Zollnersee Hütte

The approach is mostly on a road at the start. From the Untere Bischofalm, you are then on footpaths to the Obere Bischofalm and the picturesque Zollnersee.

Suggestion

There are several places of interest in Weidenburg:

Weidenburg Castle at the starting point of the hike
The Weidenburg waterfall in the Kronhofgraben. The path to the waterfall also begins at the starting point, but is a "one-way street", so to speak.
The ruins of Weidenburg Castle lie along the way. The overgrown ruins are a little adventure to discover, especially for children.

Equipment

Normal hiking equipment including sturdy hiking boots, first aid kit and weatherproof clothing.

Directions

Coming from Villach on the A2 motorway to the Hermagor/ Gailtal/ Lesachtal exit, continue on the B111 to Dellach, then turn left to Weidenburg.

Some impressions of the tour

Directions

At Weidenburg Castle (683m), follow the path to the castle ruins and on to the Kronhof (895m). From there, follow the forest road into the valley and soon afterwards meet the wide road that also leads from the Kronhof to the Bischofalm. At the Untere Bischofalm (1181m), follow the hiking trail through the forest up to the Obere Bischofalm (1573m). At the hut, follow the road to the left until you reach the first bend. After about 100 metres of ascent, you will reach a wide meadow plateau and can already see the Zollnersee Hütte (1750m) and the Friedenskapelle chapel on the other side.
