Long-distance hike Carnic altitude trail. Stage 2: Sillianer Hütte- Obstansersee Hütte

Sillian / Karnischer Hauptkamm
Difficulty ratings: medium

Dream route along old war ruins. We are grateful to be able to experience this dream scenery peacefully. Past the Hochgräntensee lake, with its old war cemetery, we hike to the Obstanser hut. A refreshment stop is a must, if only for the view of the Sesto Dolomites and the Grossglockner.
