Hermagor - Kadutschen - Bergl - Kameritsch - Watschig

An easy hike on the sunny terrace of the Gailtal valley, through forests and across meadows, always with beautiful views of the Carnic Alps, the Trogkofel in particular impresses with its rock faces. The soft rock offers little resistance to the water, which is why numerous ditches have to be crossed.

Suggestion

On the way back you can visit the local history museum in Möderndorf.

Equipment

Normal hiking equipment.

Directions

From the A2 south motorway, take the Hermagor exit and continue on the B111 to Hermagor. In Hermagor, follow the main road (one-way street) in the direction of the Catholic church and then continue to the Schützenpark (car park).

Some impressions of the tour

Directions

From car park no. 2 in Hermagor on the main road, we head west, cross the Weißensee main road next to the old post office distribution centre and walk along Guggenbergstraße - signposted Hotel Hauserhof, Gasthof Waldemar, etc.. After approx. 1.8 km we reach the turn-off to Kadutschen, a beautiful beech forest, and follow it on path 101, past an old farmhouse and a holiday home over a ditch, after which we have the option of descending to Mitschig. However, we continue across meadows with very beautiful views over the valley and the Carnic Alps through the village of Bergl, continue on path 104 to Kraschach (Gothic church) and then again uphill through a ditch with a power station to the village of Kameritsch with 2 hotels - Ramsi and Hubmann.

Return option1:
From here descend to Watschig and either take the bus or train to Hermagor.

Return option2:
Return along the Gail, via the Marienpilgerweg, in approx. 2 hours to Hermagor. Take this opportunity to visit the Gailtal local history museum in Möderndorf Castle. (=> this option is shown graphically on the map and corresponds to the dates given)
