South Alpine Panorama Trail: Stage 08 from Koschutahaus to Terklbauer
-
Panoramaweg Südalpen Etappe 08
NOTE: Due to the heavy rainfall in recent weeks, the cirque trail to the Potoksattel is completely closed.
As an alternative for stage 08 "Koschutahaus - Terklbauer", we recommend the Kärntner Grenzweg 03 (=Südalpenweg) from the Koschutahaus over the Mejniksattel and down into the Koschutatal to the Terklbauer inn. The main trail initially leads mostly downhill from the Eisenkapplerhütte to the Obiralm, past steep mountain slopes of the Obirbergstock, over the Schaidasattel to the Terkl inn.
----------------------------------------------------
This stage may not offer great summit experiences and sweeping panoramic views. However, it does offer very impressive close-up views of the wild side of the Karawanken, especially the Koschuta. Impressive close-up views: along the rugged north side of the Koschuta to the Schaidasattel and down to Zell-Terkl
The section up to the Potoksattel leads hikers into the heart of the Koschuta: the trail leads impressively directly under the rugged rock faces of the Koschutnikturm and Dicken Koschuta (Tolsta Košuta). From the Potoksattel saddle, the trail briefly leads through a wild, rugged and furrowed landscape before ending in beautiful beech forests.
Caution: Partly pathless walking on steep gravel terrain!
Hike carefree on the Panoramaweg Südalpen!

Directions
The path towards "Koschutnikturm/Lärchenturm/KGW" begins just south of the Koschutahaus. Follow this uphill through beautiful forest - leaving the turn-off to the Lärchenturm on the right - in 30 minutes to the Meiniksattel (1484m). Continue following the "KGW" signposts on the right up to the scree field below the Koschutnikturm. Cross this at its lower end on a path to the small Wiltze saddle between the Koschutnikturm and the small peak "Wiltzespitze" (approx. 1720m; note: 10m after the sign, do not follow the arrow upwards, but continue straight ahead in the direction of the "Ost" markings). Then cross the impressive scree giants with some difficulty (in snowy conditions, great care is required in some places), sometimes very close under the huge rock faces of the Dicken Koschuta (Tolsta Košuta), always following the "KGW/Potoksattel" markings until you reach the last rocks.
Now descend through forest terrain to a fork in the path. Here straight ahead to the Potoksattel (1411m; up to here about 3h). Partly exposed (always in the direction of "Ghf. Franzl/KGW") on a steep path in the forest just below the summit of the Kalischnikturm and Reschounikturm (2 wooded, small, rugged peaks). Between these, a path descends to the left (signpost "Schaidasattel"). Descend this narrow path through beautiful but steep forest to the chapel in the Meleschniksattel "Sedelce". Continue along the forest road for about 250m until a path with wooden railings leads up to the right. Follow this uphill for a few meters, then continue downhill on a beautiful hiking trail following the markings - past the Pamenutius Chapel - to the Schaidasattel. From here, take the asphalt road down to Zell-Terkl to the Terklbauer inn in 45 minutes.

Safety instructions
Partly narrow and slightly exposed paths and climbs that require surefootedness but are well marked. Some large cirques are difficult, but mostly easy to negotiate. In between, there are several gullies and secured sections where extreme caution is required, especially in snowy conditions. In the event of rain, the "Potoksattel-Sedlce" section requires caution: steep forest in places!
10 recommendations from the ÖAV
As an outdoor sport, mountain hiking offers great opportunities for health, community and adventure. The following recommendations from the alpine associations are designed to make mountain hikes as safe and enjoyable as possible.
1. healthy in the mountains
Mountain hiking is an endurance sport. The positive stress stimuli for the heart and circulation require good health and a realistic self-assessment. Avoid time pressure and choose a pace that ensures no one in the group gets out of breath.
2. careful planning
Hiking maps, guide books, the internet and experts provide information on length, altitude difference, difficulty and current conditions. Always tailor tours to the group! Pay particular attention to the weather forecast, as rain, wind and cold increase the risk of accidents.
3. complete equipment
Adapt your equipment to your tour and make sure your rucksack is light. Rain, cold and sun protection should always be in your backpack, as well as a first aid kit and cell phone (Euro emergency number 112). A map or GPS will help you find your way.
4. suitable footwear
Good hiking boots protect and relieve your feet and improve surefootedness! When making your choice, look for a perfect fit, non-slip tread sole, waterproofness and low weight.
5. sure-footedness is the key
Falls as a result of slipping or tripping are the most common cause of accidents! Be aware that excessive speed or tiredness can severely impair your surefootedness and concentration. Watch out for falling rocks: by walking carefully, you can avoid falling rocks.
6. stay on marked trails
In pathless terrain, the risk of losing your bearings, falling and falling rocks increases. Avoid shortcuts and return to the last known point if you lose your way. Often underestimated and very dangerous: steep old snowfields!
7. take regular breaks
Timely breaks help you to relax, enjoy the scenery and socialize. Eating and drinking are necessary to maintain performance and concentration. Isotonic drinks are ideal thirst quenchers. Muesli bars, dried fruit and cookies satisfy hunger along the way.
8. responsibility for children
Make sure that the focus is on variety and playful discovery for children! In passages where there is a risk of falling, one adult can only supervise one child. Very exposed tours that require prolonged concentration are not suitable for children.
9. small groups
Small groups ensure flexibility and enable mutual help. Inform people you know about the destination, route and return. Stay together in the group. Beware of lone hikers: even minor incidents can lead to serious emergencies.
10. respect for nature and the environment
To protect the mountain environment: do not leave any waste behind, avoid noise, stay on the paths, do not disturb wild animals and grazing animals, leave plants untouched and respect protected areas. Use public transport or form car pools to get there.
