Kartitsch /
Difficulty ratings: medium

On the third day of long-distance hiking, routine sets in: pack, check the weather, start walking. We have found our walking mode and are looking forward to a new, not too long day of hiking against a magnificent backdrop. And the stage destination, the Porzehütte, also sounds promising: a picturesque panoramic location with good food. Luxury in Tyrolean style.

Description

From Obstansersee Hütte the Carnic altitude trail is well signposted, proceeding steeply uphill initially to the Pfannspitze and from there past a stony bouldered area at the Kleinen and Gr. Kingiat (those of you who are fit can hike to the summit of the Gr. Kinigat which has the European Cross – a head for heights and surefootedness required). Just after the Gr. Kinigat descend to the Filmoor Standschützenhütte. After some refreshments in the Filmoor Standschützenhütte continue to the upper Stuckensee and on to Porzehütte.
