Khünburg ruins 839 m above the Jägersteig trail

The ascent to the Kühnburg ruins follows the so-called. Jägersteig trail all the way through the forest. The way back, apart from a few shortcuts along paths, is on a forest path and later through the village of Khünburg on an asphalt road.

Suggestion

In the area where the tour runs, the ground is covered with snow lilies in spring, later you will find the grass iris and many cyclamen.

Equipment

Normal hiking equipment, sturdy shoes are recommended.

From Hermagor:

A first glimpse

Some impressions of the tour

Directions

From the bus stop on the B 111 or from the car park at the train stop on the tarmac road towards Khünburg, the so-called "Jägersteig" trail no. 19 branches off to the left just before the village. Initially straight uphill, it turns off at right angles to the north after a short while. Shortly afterwards you cross a forest road and after about 10 minutes you reach another forest road. Continue along this road and after about 50 metres the path branches off again. Now continue on the path with some steeper sections until you reach another forest road. Descend on this road for approx. 50 metres and then turn right to the castle.

To descend, return to the forest road and descend to the right until a path branches off to the right shortly after a barrier. Descend down this path, cross the forest road and shortly afterwards the path ends in a bend in the forest road at a fountain, the "Brusnbründl".

From here, continue along the forest road to the village of Khünburg, through it and on to the starting point of the tour.
