Challenging circular hike near the Explorer Hotel in Carinthia
The tour starts in Gnesau (Sonnleiten) at the Gasthof Wunder, about a 15-minute drive from the Explorer Hotel in Bad Kleinkirchheim.
Here, you follow trail number 165 along the Haidenbach stream through the forest until you reach a treeless ridge. From here, you continue to the forest hut. Along the way, you'll enjoy magnificent and expansive views. After enjoying the panoramic view of Carinthia, you continue to the Wöllaner Nock.
You may encounter many long-distance hikers here, as there is a connection to the Alps-Adriatic Trail, which leads to Muggia. After capturing a few #ExplorerMoments at the summit, you'll take trail 109 to the Geigerhütte. Here, you can refuel with traditional food and gather new energy for the descent. After the break, you'll continue your hike.
Trail 163 leads you along the Haidenbach stream back to the starting point. Since you'll cover a considerable distance on this hike, you should be in good alpine condition.
