A first glimpse

Some impressions of the tour

Directions

Along the Asnitzbach stream, we reach the Bischofalm and the Skarnitz alpine basin. We walk along a section of the Carnic High Mountain Trail and cross the border into Italy at the ancient Kronhofer Törl (Passo Promosio). We quickly reach the extensive plateau of the Promoser Alm/ Malga Promosio / Cjasere Promôs. After an entertaining descent through the shady beech forest, we reach Timau/Tischlwang, one of Friuli's German-speaking islands.
